Native Womb: Going Back to the Beginning — Michael Williams

Native Womb is a non-fiction faith based memoir account of a miracle family reunion that brought an African-American family together after being abruptly separated from each other since 1979 by the decision of New York City's Child Welfare System. The highlight of this amazing story focuses on the chance that a young African-American male had to successfully locate his biological mother after being separated from her for nearly 18 years.
