Worth the time

Her story is already naturally intriguing and she could have let that be enough but she did the work of talking to others and including their stories as well. I listened straight through. Very interesting.

new to audible!

Georgina made me realize we are all one race and everyone is a mix of each other.
I especially identified with her mother holding the one night a secret . at least she didn't abort which is a nother topic.
enjoyed the guys from the pup. want to hear more. Georgina is a person I would like very much.

Powerful writing

What an amazing writer. It isn't easy to speak so eloquently about your own experience. Her story has stayed with me.

The Truth Heals

Georgina has always suspected she may not be the biological child of her father. After he passes, she investigates the truth about her biological differences using DNA analysis. Her empathy towards her mother is evident as the secret is revealed. The story offers insights on the power of parental love and Georgina show grace and courage as she uncovers her true self. I hope she continues this podcast to weave in her biological father's story as she discovers it. It is a fascinating story captivating me as it unfolded.

Do Listen

A good listen, with numerous intertwining themes. In addition to sharing her story, Ms. Lawton also updates us on aspects of DNA and of genealogy searches.

Edge of your seat

Georgina has done a great job narrating and interviewing others on a topic that is not only personal to her but so personal and an almost unknown commonality to so many others out there. When listening to her journey, she really brings the audience in such a way that goes beyond realism and is educating others to how society is evolving from something that started decades ago and how it has evolved and changed so many lives out there.

Very Interesting

I enjoyed how Georgina weaved in various issues related to now widely available DNA testing as well as how she included experts and others' stories. I highly recommend this series.
