I got out of the army in 1968 after spending 18 months stationed in Germany. While there I lived with a French girl named Maryse who I loved and planned to bring to the U.S. She was also pregnant with my unborn child. I became an alcoholic while in the military and when I returned to the states I continue to drink and neglect my responsibilities to send for Maryse. After a few months, I decided I should try to reach her and my now born little girl so I began to write letters. They were all returned to me with \"No one here by that name\" stamped on the envelope. I assumed they had moved or wanted nothing to do with me for my abandonment or both. I continued on with my life promising myself one day I would find her to see if she was alright. Thirty five years later the dream became a reality; only it was her who found me  In February 2003 I received a letter that said \"Mr. Robert Lowry I am looking for a man that has your name. I think you are my father.\" This story is an adventure that changed my life as well as my family forever. The way I view the world and my culture will never be the same. She filled a hole in my heart that was empty for 35 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Dillard Lowry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1534829695\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781534829695\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/08\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.45d","brand":"Robert Dillard Lowry","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44450171912447,"sku":"9781534829695","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_846cff16-9786-46d0-b5a7-e61da10146e5.jpg?v=1698503200","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/abandoned-in-paris-robert-dillard-lowry-9781534829695","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
