"Despite the current trend to openness in adoption records in Canada, Nadean Stone's story highlights the difficulties many adoptees continue to experience due to the treatment of unmarried mothers and their children during the postwar adoption mandate.

"Nadean Stone's "No Stone Unturned" is a fast page-turning saga of personal hardships, triumphs, loss, and love. Her perseverance to find the truth about her family and what it really means validates the spirit of humanity. A must-read!"

"This is a must-read! I couldn't put it down. I felt like I was sitting in a room talking to Nadean the entire time I read this book. It makes you laugh and cry and giggle at times, but such a fabulous read."

"An inspirational and courageous debut memoir of a woman’s years long search for her birth mother."

“If ever a cable series suggested its own sequel that promised to be just as or more captivating than the original, The Handmaid’s Tale, this would be it. And writer Nadean Stone has provided a true-life look at how such a shocking dystopia can play out in the next generation. Stone, one of the more than 600,000 babies deemed “illegitimate” in Canadian census records from the period, tells a tale that’s often raw with emotion, recounting a grim childhood and her winding, but determined journey to find her birth mother – and herself.”

Definitely a must-read! A brilliantly written, true-life account of courage, love and perseverance.
“No Stone Unturned is an exceptional story of real-life courage, love, and perseverance in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. It will grab your heart and strap you in with the author on her emotional roller-coaster that runs from joyful love to sorrow, to intense frustration, to deep personal depression and back again. The book is brilliantly written and, especially if you have children of your own, it will bring out your own deep, raw emotions as you accompany the author on her life’s journey. If you only have time to read one book this month, this should be the one.”

True and compelling story!
“This book reads like a riveting first-person work of fiction, as one cannot believe that this story really happened to someone! And yet it did happen to Nadean, and therefore the book was a true page-turner. I couldn't put it down until I was finished. Nadean persevered through so much personal and bureaucratic adversity (bull-crap!) that would bury a lesser person. Thank you Nadean for sharing your story!”

Fascinating Life Journey
“Once the tears subsided—going back and forth from sad tears to happy tears—I took time to reflect on the total story. This is one of those true stories where you ask, “how did this person survive so many struggles life threw her way”? Told in chronological order of her life, Ms. Stone brings the reader inside to experience the emotional roller coaster that was her life. There was no whitewash and “no stone unturned” in the telling of each event. The fact that Ms. Stone kept a positive outlook throughout her life is an amazing story in itself!”

“Once started you cannot put this book down. An amazing story that will grip you and astound you with the sheer courage and perseverance of its author. Nadean's style of writing is uncomplicated and flowing, void of sentimentality and this adds to the tremendous impact this book has on its reader. An outstanding tribute to the remarkable strength embodied in human nature.”
