“Half the World Away (Shawn’s Song)” is written about Tammy’s son, Shawn, whom she adopted from Guatemala. "This song is so personal to me,” Tammy shares. “I wrote this song while I waiting for my son to come home to me from Guatemala.” Her impending adoption was prolonged spanning two years, due to controversy that arose while her adoption was being processed. "I guess I've always poured my heart and feelings into my music as a form of therapy, and this song is the product of what I was feeling at the time."
Tammy adds, "One thing I love about this song is that is honors the birth mother as well as the adoptive mother. There is no greater gift than being a mother, and no greater sacrifice. I am so thankful that I have the opportunity to share my heart through this song."
