Do you know your roots? DNA results and a search for his birth family take author Jesse Scott on a wild and rocky pursuit of his past as he uncovers the truth one piece at a time, a journey that redefines his identity and reshapes his understanding of what family truly means. Jesse and his biological brother Lee were adopted as children and led challenging lives-from a stint in a mental institution to sex work and addiction. After 50 years of looking for his birth parents, the technology of DNA and social media, plus a hearty tenacity, help solve the mystery of his birth, while creating new questions. A story of survival told with humor, courage, and unsparing honesty. Reminiscent of Chris Rush's The Light Years, Scott's memoir is a triumph of the human spirit, offering hope to anyone who's ever had to fight to be themselves. Memoir LGBTQ Ancestry
