And there, my aunt explained that mom had three children. She detailed the situation of my older sister, my brother younger than me, and spoke of Nathalie, lost by the family and never found. She knew my first name and pronounced it with affection. I felt guilt in his words, guilt of the family who had to reluctantly part with a child. She said again that my brother had looked for me. She told all this spontaneously even though she didn't know who I was. And in just a few minutes, I learned a lot about my family history.
Also, when she stopped and asked:
- But you are family?
I answered without hesitation:
- I'm Nathalie!
Adopted when she was little, Nathalie Crouzet tells its story in the form of thematic scenes. A childhood in Ardèche, sometimes very painful but also full of good times. Then marriage and children and a professional career with twists and turns. One day, Nathalie decided to research her family of origin to learn its history, by questioning the institutions. What she discovered delighted and soothed her... A life imbued with trust in God, discreet, but solid.
