Finding Mary Smith is a funny, raw, and deeply human memoir about adoption, identity, and belonging. Isaacs takes readers on an unforgettable search for the woman who gave him life and the truth that nearly vanished with her name.
His journey leads from suburban New York to the smoky coffeehouses of Greenwich Village, where his birth mother once sang alongside the dreamers of the 1960s folk music scene. With the timing of a comic and the honesty of a son trying to understand his past, Isaacs turns a life-altering discovery into a story of love, loss, and self-discovery.
Finding Mary Smith is a moving, funny, and ultimately uplifting memoir about the power of truth, the resilience of family, and the music that connects us—even when we don’t yet know the tune.
