One Conversation. One Secret. A Truth That Changed Everything.
For nearly 40 years, I believed I knew who I was. Then, a single sentence changed everything.
A casual remark from a trusted family friend, who had once worked in intelligence, revealed a secret I never saw coming:
I was adopted.
That moment sparked a relentless search across decades and continents. Along the way, I uncovered a black-market adoption ring, hidden identities, and connections to organized crime.
What started as an ordinary trip became a life-changing journey to uncover the truth about my past and my identity.

REVIEWS
“Bravo! It’s 2am here in Oregon. What a really well written book. You could liken it to a thriller. Captivating. Suspenseful. I couldn’t put it down till I got to the ending. What a journey! God Bless You girl!” - Lynn Scott - Oregon - June 2025 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“As a fellow late-discover adopted person, I can understand the upheaval that happens to your life and identity when you learn you aren’t who you thought you were. I can also understand the strong desire to find out more about where you came from. Diana’s tenacity and perseverance is inspirational. When faced with tremendous obstacles she carries on her quest to learn more.
This memoir is a page turner full of adventure, twists and turns. I am a slower reader and found it hard to put this book down because I wanted to see what could possibly happen next.
Thank you Diana for sharing your story with the world.” - Heather DH - New Jersey - June 2025 - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I just finished reading your book. What a story! You must be the bravest lady I know to have researched so much in spite of the threats on you and your family's lives. The photos were awesome. I usually only listen to Audible books because of time constraints but I am glad I gave in and purchased your book. Congratulations on a well-written book containing so much history, as well as searching tips.” - Sharon Cummins - Missouri - June 2025 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“A heart-breaking, but admirable quest of one women's journey. Was it serendipity, or destiny that placed Diana on her path to discovery? Her story really proves that truth is often more interesting than fiction. Her relentless search would rival any detective's approach. It was dizzyingly delightful, (and sometimes shocking), keeping all the cast of characters top of mind. From sea to shining sea, (or dessert), Diana chases down information with determination and heart. Brava Diana! I'm sure that "Donna" is bursting with pride over your accomplishments.” - Sara Credito - South Carolina - May 2025 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Connected:Finding my Truth is a fascinating ,emotional book that you will be thinking about long after you have finished.
Diana Kayla Hochberg suddenly faces an empty hole in her life. Clearly she lets you know that with all the dead ends, struggles,disappointments and heartache along the way with years of research, determination and patience the hole begins to fill in ways unimaginable.
Forgiveness, love, family and new found strength and truth all contribute to her healing. Very inspirational . “ - Bettina Hill - North Carolina - May 2025 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

📌 Featured Story: A WWII Father’s Legacy – My Dad, My Hero
"Not long ago, I discovered a small box tucked away in a forgotten corner—inside were my father’s World War II medals, handwritten notes, and a weathered Army Bible. That simple box opened a world of memories, secrets, and strength I never fully knew he carried."
