Lisa Genova meets 23andMe in this exploration of the genetic and
emotional ties that bind, as debut author Julie Clark delivers a
compelling read about a young boy desperate to find his place in
this world, a mother coming to terms with her own past, and the
healing power of forgiveness.The powerful forces of science and
family collide when geneticist Paige Robson finds her world in
upheaval: Her eight-year-old son Miles is struggling to fit in at
his new school and begins asking questions about his biological
father that Paige can't answer--until fate thrusts the anonymous
donor she used into their lives. Paige's carefully constructed life
begins to unravel as the truth of Miles's paternity threatens to
destroy everything she has grown to cherish. As Paige slowly opens
herself up--by befriending an eccentric mother, confronting her own
deeply buried vulnerabilities, and trying to make sense of her
absent father's unexpected return--she realizes breakthroughs
aren't only for the lab. But when tragedy strikes, Paige must face
the consequences of sharing a secret only she knows. With grace and
humor, Julie Clark shows that while the science is fascinating,
solving these intimate mysteries of who we are and where we come
from unleashes emotions more complex than the strands of DNA that
shape us.
