The Lie: When DNA Reveals the Family Secret

It made me think, made me cry, and made me love everything that was Jahana. Kim Warner, author. For readers of Richard Hill’s Finding Family, or Ann Heffron’s You Don’t Look Adopted, comes a tension-filled genealogy novel that will keep you up at night, and have you questioning your own ancestry long after the last page is turned. Jahana’s world is thrown into chaos by the unexpected results of a DNA test. With scant clues, and a fear of what will happen if her husband discovers who she really is, Jahana faces the daunting task of exposing the family secret one strand of DNA at a time. She’d like to keep the lie buried, but she can’t. It’s too big to ignore. The Lie will offer a different perspective on how a simple test can completely change a family dynamic. L. Roach, family genealogist
