About the Recipe
2,000 miles, a cross-country car ride
adopted son and mother travel side by side
white woman, brown boy in the same space
9 states to the hospital, the teen’s birthplace
4 days, if all goes according to plan
5 nights, of doing all that they can
to find his birth mom, identity, or home
but by the end of their journey
will any answers be known?
