Description

Strauss begins by telling the story of her childhood with her adoptive parents, whom she loved dearly, and her difficult relationship with her troubled adoptive brother. She goes on to write about her search for, and ultimate reunion with, her birth mother, her birth mother's birth mother, her seven siblings, and, briefly, her birth father. By the end of the book the fifth grader, who knew nothing about her biological roots, has discovered she's a Mayflower descendent, whose ancestors go back to Charlemagne.
