Description
Dani Shapiro's memoir is a genetic detective story that reads like a thriller. In 2016, she received news that her father was not her biological father, shattering everything she thought she knew about her identity. With only a handful of figures to go on, Shapiro sets out to uncover the truth about herself and her history. This book is a powerful exploration of secrets within families, kept out of shame or self-protectiveness, as well as those we keep from one another in the name of love. It's a story about the extraordinary moment we live in, where science and technology have outpaced our capacity to cope with the consequences of what we discover. Through her journey, Shapiro sheds light on the complexities of family, identity, and the human heart.
