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.
