The Milkman's Son: A Memoir of Family History. a DNA Mystery. a Story of Paternal Love. by Randy Lindsay
4.0
The Milkman's Son by Randy Lindsay is his personal experience with a DNA test surprise. It all starts when he sets out to do his family history, but he struggles to locate one particular ancestor's birthplace. After failing for months he decides to take a DNA test to help him narrow down what geographical areas to look into. That's when he learns that the father who raised him is not his biological father. What follows is his journey of self-doubt, discovery, realization and ultimately acceptance.
This was a very intriguing story, made even more so by the fact that it's real. I love that he included perspectives from both families, and how they came to accept and love him and the situation he found himself in. It resonated with me because I have 3 children who have a different mother. I love that he focused on love and how he didn't have to be raised with them to have a connection, also he had adopted two sons, so his story just continues to expand and affect more people.
If you are interested in true inspirational stories, family history, and good heartwarming reads, this is a wonderful book.
