Book Review: A Girl Named Connie "In 1946 being adopted was a social curse and a lifelong sentence. I was born in 1946, but not to business owners Bill and Cloteel Wilson (Wilson Dry Goods) in Edmonton, Kentucky as I had thought. On a crowded elementary playground when I was in the sixth grade, a disgruntled classmate chased me around the swings and slide chanting, "You're A-dopt-ed; You're A-dopt-ed." Instead of rushing to the store and demanding answers, I said nothing. For the next forty years, I kept their secret and they were never aware that I knew. During this time, hints came from unsuspecting customers, teachers, and outsiders. Rumors about me were rampant, but I didn't hear them until later in life. Late one night, I would learn the truth about my birth mother through a shocking phone call. Other "truths" would emerge just as surprising." - Connie Next earlier Carol Perkins article: Carol Perkins: Chicken story, Part II: Grandchickens By Carol Perkins Connie Wilson and I have lifelong friends since the cradle. For many years now we have organized, researched, and interviewed parties involved in order to write this true story, "A Girl Named Connie." She could not tell her story as long as her parents were living in fear of hurting them, but it is a saga worth telling and one fit to be shared. The book is now available at Amazon.com for Kindle and in paperback. I remember being told when I was small that Connie was adopted and for me NEVER to say anything about it, so I didn't. Therefore, the day she learned the news and asked her three best friends if we knew, I didn't want to tell her that I had kept this secret from her. All I could say was, "I heard it." I really didn't have any details because all surrounding her origin was "hush, hush" and mysterious.
