Years later, stricken with grief, he flees from his siblings to start a new life. Plagued by immeasurable loss and unspeakable horrors, he changes his name and leaves behind his past, never speaking of it to anyone. Ever. Almost 70 years later, living in the home that was once his, Rachel Taylor goes on a mission to discover who her grandfather was. Raising her daughter and running a business, she finds herself falling in love for the first time in over a decade with someone she least expected. As she digs into her family’s past, she discovers pain and tragedy buried in the secrets that her grandfather tried to take to his grave. Finding him will change her entirely and the truth may be enough to keep her from the one person she might be meant to be with. What I am Made of delicately blends fiction with the harsh truths of the world’s historical past and the untold stories of the people who lived it. It is a story of heartbreak and redemption that readers won’t soon forget.
