Inhaltsangabe

As a boy growing up in a working-class neighborhood of Rockford, Illinois, Richard Nelson thought he knew who he was: the ambitious, resilient son of a devoted but troubled mother and an often absent father, determined to succeed beyond the standards of his parents and sisters. That unshakeable resolve compelled him to graduate from college, earn two more degrees, and embark upon a rewarding career. Far more importantly, he found the love of his life, Janice, and together they created the secure and loving family that he never had as a boy. It wasn't until he reached his seventies that the shocking results of a DNA test ripped apart his deep-seated understanding of himself, suggesting that all he thought he knew about his past was based on a false premise. Ever since that discovery, he has tried to reshape his perspective on the past, the present, ancestry, ethnicity, and how it all adds up to one man's identity.
