My Little Valentine Trista Gorrell

This is the true story of lost love between a mother and daughter. In 1925, a rural Kansas teenage girl found herself in the "family way" and unmarried. She was sent to The Willows Maternity Sanitarium, a home for unwed mothers where her baby girl was born on Valentine's Day. She was devastated to be forced to give up her baby for adoption and had to promise to never look for her little girl. Though kept a secret, she never forgot and always hoped her daughter was happy. Adopted and raised by a wonderful Kansas farm family, the daughter always wondered the who and why about her birth mother. After 66 years they are reunited and this is their story.
