520    "Lisa Genova meets 23andMe in this exploration of the 
       genetic and emotional ties that bind, as debut author 
       Julie Clark delivers a compelling read about a young boy 
       desperate to find his place in this world, a mother coming
       to terms with her own past, and the healing power of 
       forgiveness. The powerful forces of science and family 
       collide when Paige Robson, a genetic scientist whose 
       life's work examines why some fathers can't bond with 
       their children, finds her world in upheaval: her eight-
       year-old son Miles is struggling to fit in at his new 
       school and begins asking questions about his biological 
       father that Paige can't answer--until fate thrusts the 
       anonymous donor she used into their lives. Paige's 
       carefully constructed life begins to unravel as the truth 
       of Miles' paternity threatens to destroy everything she 
       has grown to cherish. And when tragedy strikes, Paige must
       face the consequences of sharing a secret only she knows. 
       As Paige slowly opens herself up--by befriending an 
       eccentric mother, confronting her own deeply buried 
       vulnerabilities, and trying to make sense of her absent 
       father's unexpected return--she realizes breakthroughs 
       aren't only for the lab. With grace and humor, Julie Clark
       shows that while the science is fascinating, solving these
       intimate mysteries of who we are and where we come from 
       unleashes emotions more complex than the strands of DNA 
       that shape us"--|cProvided by publisher.
