Not My Father's Son - Alan Cumming

 Recommended by a fellow genealogist, this was a quick and heart-breaking read.  Alan is a well known and lauded actor.  His childhood was laced with violence from his father, a miserable, unhappy man who took his anger out on his children...or were they "his"?  

A DNA test seems to resolve the question though it raised further speculation in my mind.  I won't give away the story but recommend reading.  The book is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
