Inheritance - Dani Shapiro

Subtitle: A Memoir of Genealogy, Paternity and Love

I took a long time to getting around to reading this.  I'd put in on hold at the library back in February but couldn't get it until this week.  I devoured it in 24 hours!  The author finds out through a DNA test that her father is not her biological father and embarks on a journey to discover the truth. She was raised in an Orthodox Jewish home and was often told she "didn't look Jewish".  She's a terrific writer, sharing her emotional roller coaster as she discovers her true paternity.  I was also fascinated by the rituals and practices of the Jewish faith.  This one goes to the top of my list for 2020
