HTML:<b>A searing and unforgettable memoir about a family secret revealed by a DNA test, the lessons learned in its aftermath, and the indelible power of love.</b><br /> <br /> <b>"A moving account...[and] a reminder of the abundance of experience present in all families, and the power and healing that can come from honoring those many truths.</b>" —<b><i>The Washington Post</i></b><br /> Three months after Kyo Maclear's father dies in December 2018, she gets the results of a DNA test showing that she and the father who raised her are not biologically related. Suddenly Maclear becomes a detective in her own life, unravelling a family mystery piece by piece, and assembling the story of her biological father. Along the way, larger questions arise: what exactly <i>is</i> kinship? What does it mean to be a family? And how do we belong to larger ecosystems?<br /> <br /> <i>Unearthing</i> is a captivating and propulsive story of inheritance that goes beyond heredity. Infused with moments of suspense, it is also a thoughtful reflection on race, lineage, and our cultural fixation on recreational genetics. Readers of Michelle Zauner's bestseller <i>Crying in H Mart</i> will recognize Maclear's unflinching insights on grief and loyalty, and keen perceptions into the relationship between mothers and daughters.<br /> <br /> What gets planted, and what gets buried? What role does storytelling play in unearthing the past and making sense of a life? Can the humble act of tending a garden provide common ground for an inquisitive daughter and her complicated mother? "A lovely meditation on the hidden past and the blossoming future" (<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>) and a "generous, open-handed perspective" (NPR), <i>Unearthing</i> bursts with the very love it seeks to understand.
