The Milkman's Son: A Memoir of Family History. A DNA Mystery. A Story of Paternal Love
Description:
Raised in a family he bore little resemblance to, Randy was jokingly referred to as "the milkman&;s son." This warm and candid memoir chronicles the unraveling of a family secret, which begins with Randy&;s dad having dreams about deceased relatives urging him to complete their family tree. Randy agrees to help with the genealogy, but after his searching leads to a dead end, he takes a commercially available DNA test. The results reveal a possible genetic match to a sister, which begins a familial quest that forever changes the author&;s life.
Featuring a cast of vivid characters, richly drawn from two distinct families, The Milkman&;s Son reveals one man&;s family tree, pulling back layers of new information as he gets closer to the truth&;a biological father, siblings, and family members he never knew about.
This is a story of accepting, forgiving, reuniting, and, most importantly, it&;s about the bonds that connect us and the unconditional love that makes us feel like we belong.
