It is the story of a woman's urgent quest to unlock the story of her own identity, a story that had been scrupulously hidden from her for more than fifty years. It is a book about the extraordinary moment we live in, a moment in which science and technology have outpaced not only medical ethics but also the capacities of the human heart to contend with the consequences of what we discover. Dani Shapiro's memoir unfolds at a breakneck pace--part mystery, part real-time investigation, part rumination on the ineffable combination of memory, history, biology, and experience that makes us who we are. \u003ci\u003eInheritance\u003c\/i\u003e is a devastating and haunting interrogation of the meaning of kinship and identity, written with stunning intensity and precision.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDANI SHAPIRO is a best-selling novelist and memoirist and host of the podcast Family Secrets (now in its seventh season).
