Finding Margaret is the moving story of journalist and broadcaster Andrew Pierce's search for his birth mother. As he was approaching fifty, Pierce decided that it was finally time to track down his biological mother. He knew that he had lived in a Roman Catholic orphanage in Cheltenham for more than two years and was adopted at the age of three by a family who loved and nurtured him. As his career in journalism flourished and despite feeling like he was betraying the adoptive parents who loved him so much, Pierce began to tentatively search for his birth mother, only to find that she had done everything she could to ensure he would never find her. When he finally managed to meet her, the mystery only deepened, leading him to Ireland in search of the man who may or may not have been his father. During his search, Pierce also realises the extent of the mistreatment he suffered at the orphanage and attempts to forge a relationship with the woman who gave him away. This candid book is a heartwarming page turner that takes the reader on an extraordinary journey. Full of amusing and arresting anecdotes, at its heart lies the inspirational story of one man's extensive search for his birth mother and what happened when he finally found her.

A “sweeping” (Entertainment Weekly) novel of America’s forgotten leading lady, the central figure of a movement that defined a nation—from the New York Times bestselling author of The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post “Whether exploring Margaret’s remarkable friendships or delving into her crucial legacy as a journalist, writer, and feminist, Finding Margaret Fuller promises to transform every reader it touches.”—Marie Benedict, co-author of The Personal Librarian Young, brazen, beautiful, and unapologetically brilliant, Margaret Fuller accepts an invitation from Ralph Waldo Emerson, the celebrated Sage of Concord, to meet his coterie of enlightened friends. There she becomes “the radiant genius and fiery heart” of the Transcendentalists, a role model to a young Louisa May Alcott, an inspiration for Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Hester Prynne and the scandalous Scarlet Letter, a friend to Henry David Thoreau as he ventures out to Walden Pond . . . and a muse to Emerson. But Margaret craves more than poetry and interpersonal drama, and her restless soul needs new challenges and adventures. And so she charts a singular course against a backdrop of dizzying historical drama: From Boston, where she hosts a salon for students like Elizabeth Cady Stanton; to the editorial meetings of The Dial magazine, where she hones her pen as its co-founder; to Harvard’s library, where she is the first woman permitted entry; to the gritty New York streets where she spars with Edgar Allan Poe and reports on Frederick Douglass. Margaret defies conventions time and again as an activist for women and an advocate for humanity, earning admirers and critics alike. When the legendary editor Horace Greeley offers her an assignment in Europe, Margaret again makes history as the first female foreign news correspondent, mingling with luminaries like Frédéric Chopin, William Wordsworth, George Sand and more. But it is in Rome that she finds a world of passion, romance, and revolution, taking a Roman count as a lover—and sparking an international scandal. Evolving yet again into the roles of mother and countess, Margaret enters the fight for Italy’s unification. With a star-studded cast and sweeping, epic historical events, this is a story of an inspiring trailblazer, a woman who loved big and lived even bigger—a fierce adventurer who transcended the rigid roles ascribed to women and changed history, all on her own terms.

The acclaimed author “richly articulates how the insights of modern science . . . can usher in a new era of human and planetary health” (Systems Thinker). For years, Margaret Wheatley has written eloquently about humanizing our organizations and helping people to work together more effectively and compassionately. She has shown how breakthroughs in chaos theory and quantum physics can enable organizations to function more like responsive, self-organizing living systems, rather than cold mechanisms of control. And she has gradually expanded these ideas into the wider arena of human society. In short, Margaret Wheatley is one of the most innovative and influential organizational thinkers of our time, and Finding Our Way brings together her shorter writings for the first time, touching on all the topics she has addressed throughout her career, showing how she has applied the ideas in her books in many different situations. “However,” she writes, “this is not a collection of articles. I updated, revised, or substantially added to the original content of each one. In this way, everything written here represents my current views on the subjects I write about.” Provocative, challenging, at times poetic, and often deeply moving, Finding Our Way sums up Wheatley’s thinking on a diverse scope of topics from leadership and management to education and raising children in turbulent times; from societal commentary to specific organizational techniques and more. “Wheatley provocatively lays out how managers must operate to be effective in a system that is ‘alive’ . . . Finding Our Way challenges us to see the enterprises we lead in new light.” —Leader’s Beacon

"Finding Margaret's father leads to Nazi intrigue" is the true story of Margaret's biological Father. Margaret was born in Amsterdam the Netherlands, then immigrated, when she was three years old, to Calgary, Alberta, Canada.After the Second World War, in May 1945, her mother met a Canadian soldier and they married in the spring of 1946? and after that he returned to Canada, to arrange living quarters for his family. Then in the fall of 1946 Margaret's mother, including the two little girls, immigrated to join him. In the spring of 1950, Margaret, her mother and sister, traveled to the Netherlands for a summer holiday. It was getting close to Christmas when a stranger called at her grandparent's house in Hague and demanded to see Wilhelm Bauer's wife. Because they did not know this man they never invited him in, only told him to go away. He became loud and swore that he would return, then left. After that incident her mother, maybe because she was afraid of what this man might do, wanted to leave the Netherlands. They departed from Liverpool England on December 30, 1950 on the RMS "ASCANIA", and arrived in Halifax, Canada on January 8, 1951. After that episode, they did not return to the Netherlands for over twenty-five years, and never saw her parents again. Many years later Margaret and Bruce lived in a large apartment, which had a laundry room. Margaret, while doing her laundry, was talking to a neighbor who said she was from the Netherlands, had married a Canadian soldier, and immigrated to Canada as a war bride. "What a coincidence", Margaret told her, "My mother is Dutch, who also came to Canada as a war bride." This neighbor lasked Margaret when she was born and she replied it was on the 31st of August 1943. She said it was impossible for her to be a daughter of a Canadian soldier, because they did not arrive in the Netherlands until Liberation Day May 7, 1945. A couple of months later while visiting friends, Margaret mentioned what this neighbor had said about her father. To her surprise, they were told by her aunt, her mothers sister, that the man Margaret calles dad is not her father. This news devastated her because now there were two people telling her that the man she calls dad, whas not her dad. They were saying that her mother, the one she loved, was keeping whom her father is a secret.The next day Margaret went to her parent's house, who were on vacation, to search for some papers. She felt it better to do so alone, plus she was afraid of what she might find. Margaret was looking for some pictures of herself and her Canadian father or a document which confirmed when they got married. After they returned from their holidays Margaret visited her mother who was furious with Margaret for going through her private papers but gave no explanation about her birth. Not long after that, because Margaret felt sorry for having made her mother so angry, she returned to have a private discussion. Her mother told her that her fathers name was Wilhelm Bauer she called him Willie, and that Margaret had been conceived out of a loving relationship. If this had been known during the war Margaret's mother may have been treated like many other Dutch girls who had children from German soldiers. Because, as punishment, they had their heads shaven by men roaming the streets, who when the job was completed would dump a pail of human excrement on their heads and parade them around town. Also, if Margaret had stayed in the Netherlands, she would have been "Born Wrong" (fout born) a label which would have hampered her getting an education or job. But she was in Canada and spared all the unpleasantness that happened over there.However, we were still curious and wanted to know why Margaret's mother never wanted to talk about Wilhelm Bauer. We even contacted the German Red Cross, but with only a name and nothing else this was impossible. Then on a trip through Europe we found some documents and we were astonished at what we found out.
