A true story of Cincinnati native Steve, who began searching for his Native American ancestry in 2021. A DNA test led to an astonishing discovery-a surprise first cousin in Prince Edward Island, Canada-an impossible connection given his Kentucky-based heritage. What was meant to simply map his genetic makeup instead unraveled a lifetime of family secrets.
With the help of his wife Becky, a part-time forensic genealogist, Steve embarks on a relentless investigation. Each new clue brings shocking revelations while the emotional chaos mounts. The mother he had always known as a deeply religious woman reveals a past that shatters everything he believed about her. Steve is a DNA orphan.
His journey spirals from disbelief to grief, anger, resentment, and shame-until, with the support of those closest to him, he finds peace in his new identity. This stranger-than-fiction true story will take readers on a rollercoaster of emotions-moving from shock to tears, laughter, and ultimately, to saying, You can't make this stuff up.
