About this listen
All families have stories and all families have secrets. Some stories can be hidden forever. Others come out over time, or suddenly through revelation. With the advent of easy to obtain and cheap DNA kits, more and more people are stumbling across biological secrets they never suspected, sometimes with happy outcomes, but sometimes with shocking results.
In this book, the author provides a real-life example of the shocking revelations and aftermath of DNA investigation. Growing up as one of nine children, Stephen Anderson suspected from a young age that something was amiss. A chance accident, and a small crack in the history of his family broke open. More would come to be revealed as the author sets out on a journey to find answers to his questions. Any listener wondering what a DNA test might reveal will find here one extreme example of family secrets gone awry. As each member learns more about his or her own identity, new family members pop up, fade out, or pass away before relationships can be established or even revealed.
More and more people are undergoing DNA tests and seeking to find long lost relatives though ancestry searches. What they find might upturn all their shared assumptions about family, identity, belonging, and history. Join Stephen as he uncovers his own family’s secrets, the impact they’ve had on his life and his family’s, and what they are all doing now to heal fresh wounds.

All about forgiveness
I found this story to be fascinating yet very sad. To have so many family secrets in one family must have been a very difficult situation to face and realize. I think it is always better to know the truth even when it hurts because we all want to know the truth about who we really are. Thanks for sharing this incredible story. Too bad the author did not narrate this would have been a better experience.

Fascinating great reveal on family history
An almost unimaginable tale of what one can learn from DNA and genetic profiling tools, and just how surprising the discoveries can be. The author expected to find some family secrets, but not this many, and he was impacted more than he anticipated. Good listening for anyone considering this route. Has helpful info what the different types of tests reveal.
