Jessica Dudley is a child of the Vietnam War. Her parents came from two different worlds and were not able to make things work between them. With her father returning to the United States after his tour of service and her mother staying behind to have her baby, Jessica is born into a home without love. Ignored and abandoned, she is saved by an elder relative who takes her in to raise as her own.
Going blind at the age of two, she dreams of finding her dad and being loved by, at least, one of her parents. She must find a way to take advantage of an immigration program available to children of US servicemen, but being a child of poverty, the process and the needed funds seem to be out of reach for Jessica.
After much pain and triumph, she finds herself in New York's LaGuardia Airport with the question on her lips, "Do you know my dad? His name is Lee, he's white, and he wears a leg brace."
She lives through foster homes, marriage and divorce, single motherhood, and much blood, sweat, and tears, yet she perseveres until she finds the clues that guide her search.
Jessica's life is a testimony to the strength that lies within, and you will cry tears of pain and joy along with her as you read her true story in Finding Dad.
