Publisher's Summary
The moment Diane Burke, an author and mother of two grown sons, received an unexpected certified letter in the mail, she had no idea her life would be shaken to its core. Memories of a past she had buried more than forty years ago suddenly resurfaced and she wasn't prepared to deal with them.
Steve Orlandi, happily married, father of two and step-father of three, was living the typical middle class American life. But since the age of eight, when he discovered he was adopted, he had led that life dealing with inner questions about his self-identity and genetic history. Always on his mind was one simple, yet complicated and loaded question: Who am I?
In One Perfect Day, Diane shares with readers how she came to the heartbreaking conclusion to give her baby up for adoption and how this decision has affected her life sense. Through Steve's invaluable perspective, readers will also experience the lengths he traveled to discover his mother's identity and reach out to her, not knowing whether she'd want to meet with him after nearly four decades of separation. It all comes together on one perfect day.
This book asks and answers the questions: What defines family? What does it mean to forgive? And is it worth the time, energy, and emotional cost to love a stranger?

Full bloom
So many emotions came to me while listening to this book. From the prologue to the last chapter. I laughed, and cried so many times. Diane Burke has an unique life story, and she tells it so beautifully in this book. You’re a survivor, indeed!

Wonderful both in story and narration
Loved the narrator! Also the story is heartbreaking at first, but so beautifully written and read that you can’t put it down. Ends with so much heart warmth and optimism. Cannot recommend a book more.
I’m not a religious person but I enjoy vicariously living with authors in books who have found a love of god that is not conceited and is respectful, so even this aspect this book is enjoyable at the very least by agnostics like myself.
