Genes Don't Lie: DNA results and family secrets (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781836152477)

Genes Don't Lie examines the impact of secrets exposed after a DNA test reveals much more than expected. It begins as a narrative drawing the reader into the story, charting a journey of discovery, then moves into a plan for treatment and support, assisting the reader to make peace with their own story. We learn through stories and sometimes we need to recreate our own.

With the cheap availability of DNA testing, people are stumbling into knowledge unprepared in unprecedented numbers and there is little help available. Who you think you are is a fragile edifice which can be so easily shattered, yet this sense of identity is vital to our resilience and well-being. This book addresses topics like identity, anger, belonging, grief, shame and family secrets which can affect us all.
