All families have stories and all families have secrets. Some stories
can be hidden forever. Others come out over time, or suddenly through
revelation. With the advent of easy to obtain and cheap DNA kits, more
and more people are stumbling across biological secrets they never
suspected, sometimes with happy outcomes, but sometimes with shocking
results.
In this book, the author provides a real-life example of the shocking
revelations and aftermath of DNA investigation. Growing up as one of
nine children, Stephen Anderson suspected from a young age that
something was amiss. A chance accident, and a small crack in the
history of his family broke open. More would come to be revealed as
the author sets out on a journey to find answers to his questions. Any
reader wondering what a DNA test might reveal will find here one
extreme example of family secrets gone awry. As each member learns
more about his or her own identity, new family members pop up, fade
out, or pass away before relationships can be established or even
revealed.
More and more people are undergoing DNA tests and seeking to find long
lost relatives though ancestry searches. What they find might upturn
all their shared assumptions about family, identity, belonging, and
history. Join Stephen as he uncovers his own family’s secrets, the
impact they’ve had on his life and his family’s, and what they are
all doing now to heal fresh wounds.
