Most times, Family secrets have a way of coming back to either make or mar individuals in the future. I like the storyline. It's easily relatable. Congratulation on being the BOTD!

The book sounds like it has a lot of negative emotions in it, but the fact that the main character would find closure makes me what to know how it came to that. Nice review.

I like how clear the review is. I don't feel compelled to read the book though. So I will pass on this one.

This is a story of a young girl who discovered the fact that dad wasn't her biological father. Furthermore she was also affected by family ties.
It is an interesting family drama. The review is great.
Congratulations on Botd 🎉

Finding out that your life is a lie is a big blow to anyone. The family tree on the cover speaks volumes. I hope the author finds closure to her woes.

Finding self-worth after life-changing events is always difficult. I hope Jackson succeeds in her journey of self-discovery and finds the closure that she deserves. Thank you for this great review!

Sounds like a wonderful read. Families are full of mystery and secrets. I wonder what secret mine holds. Surprising and unsettling as well. Nice work!

I really not the one to enjoy this kind of story. The whole journey to discover your roots to understand yourself is not my cup of tea. No offence, but I will skip this book. Congratulations with BOTD!

I am not really a fan of biographies. And, I cannot really relate so much to the plot here. From the given quote, it seems like her father never let her realise that he wasn't her real dad, in other words, was a kind and loving dad. So, even if her grandmother was cold to her, that making her entire life crash, it's perhaps a little sad rather than anything else. So I'll probably pass on this book.
