In Search of My Father: Whatever Happened to Charlie, the Home Boy? is the author's account of her father's life. Here, we travel with the author through not only her adventure in uncovering facts and details about her beloved father's early years, but about the context in which they took place - namely, the terrible legacy of the so-called "Home Children." Too late, she discovers the tragedy and hardships that her father experienced as a child.

The ill-effects of the government's misdeeds remain long after they are committed, and the repercussions lasted in ways they never anticipated. However, this realization does enable the author to achieve a better understanding of the father for whom she has been searching, quelling her internal disquiet.
