It is not until the day Sophie's mother dies that the search for
her father's family begins. As Sophie rehashes her childhood over
the phone with her sister, Kat, she soon realizes she has more
questions than answers.
Sophie hires a genealogist to research her father's family, but
without a real name, information is scarce. Unlike in a mystery
novel, there are no witnesses or disgruntled family members, just
fragmented memories and a slip of paper found in an old book. As
Sophie struggles to piece together the bits and pieces of snatched
conversations she heard as a child, she soon wonders whether anyone
in her one sided family knows anything-whether their silence is
deliberate or habitual. But Sophie is determined to unearth the
secrets buried long ago. As she digs into the past, she slowly
begins to unravel information that just might lead her to her
father's true identity, and who the other shiny-shoed man was in
her mother's life.
"Standing on One Leg "is a story of heartbreak and hope that
reveals one woman's journey to the realization that change happens
only if she is willing to look at everything in a different
way.
