At sixteen, Meredith Hall was cast out of her home and her town. What followed was a lifetime of searching for belonging.
In 1965, after becoming pregnant, Meredith is shunned by her small New Hampshire community and exiled from her family. Alone, she gives up her baby for adoption and wanders through Europe and the Middle East, trading safety for survival. Years later, when her lost son finds her, their reunion forces her to confront the grief and love she has carried for decades.
Through memory and forgiveness, she learns how compassion can grow from pain.
Meredith Hall’s Without a Map is a lyrical, unflinching memoir of loss, reconciliation, and the hard-earned grace of finding one’s way home.
