Family TreeNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER• A superbly crafted novel, Family Tree asks penetrating questions about family and the choices people make in times of crisis. “Family Tree is warm, rich, textured, and impossible to put down.” —Nora Roberts For as long as she can remember, Dana Clarke has longed for the stability of home and family. Now she has married a man she adores, whose heritage can be traced back to the Mayflower, and she is about to give birth to their first child. But what should be the happiest day of her life becomes the day her world falls apart. Her daughter is born beautiful and healthy, and in addition, unmistakably African-American in appearance. Dana’s determination to discover the truth about her baby’s heritage becomes a shocking, poignant journey. |
