American Bastard
/
American Bastard is a beautifully written memoir that shares poet, professor, and established author Jan Beatty’s experience finding her famous NHL hockey player birthfather and her working-class birthmother.
Jan pulls no punches. As she discussed on Adoptees On episode 204, one of her goals is to disrupt the traditional narrative—what she calls the “whitewashed” view of adoption. Hear for yourself in our Adoptees On(ly) Book Club discussion featuring Jan herself!
