This book is based upon a heart wrenching true story about the power of genetic traits, even if parent and child have never met. It is also about the destruction and dysfunction that may result from establishing and retaining family secrets. In my personal experience, such secrets are sustained by pride, control, and the retention of pain.In addition to radically breaking from tradition, sharing this story is a monumental sacrifice that may further sever fragile relationships in my family. I had an unfortunate choice: shout from the rooftop and allow winds of fate to carry forth my experience, or cowardly duck from accountability and take complicity to my grave. In faith that closure and full restoration are rightfully mine, I chose the former. As for mothers, fathers, daughters, and sons that have suffered pain specifically related to family, you may eventually stand before that same choice.
