adoption,biographies,memoirs,parenting and relationships, Every family has a secret. But what if that secret makes you question your own place in the family? Mixing equal parts memoir, detective story, and popular-science narrative, this is the emotionally charged account of one man's quest to find out the truth about his genetic heritage-and confront the agonizing possibility of having to redefine the first fifty years of his life. Shortly before his father's death, Lennard Davis received a cryptic call from his uncle Abie, who said he had a secret he wanted to tell him one day. When finally revealed, the secret-that Abie himself was Davis's father, via donor insemination-seemed too preposterous to be true. Born in 1949, Davis wasn't even sure that artificial insemination had existed at that time. Moreover, his uncle was mentally unstable, an unreliable witness to the past. Davis tried to erase the whole episode from his mind.Yet it wouldn't disappear. As a child, Davis had always felt oddly out of place in his family. �Could Abie's story explain why? Over time Davis's doubts grew into an obsession, until finally, some twenty years after Abie's phone call, he launched an investigation-one that took him to DNA labs and online genealogical research sites, and into intense conversations with family members whose connection to him he had begun to doubt. �At once an absorbing personal journey and a fascinating intellectual foray into the little-known history of artificial insemination and our millennia-long att.
