It is the story of a woman's urgent quest to unlock the story of her own identity, a story that has been scrupulously hidden from her for more than fifty years, years she had spent writing brilliantly, and compulsively, on themes of identity and family history. It is a book about the extraordinary moment we live in--a moment in which science and technology have outpaced not only medical ethics but also the capacities of the human heart\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Knopf","offers":[{"title":"Inheritance: A Memoir of Genealogy, Paternity, and Love | Dani Shapiro | Hardcover | 9781524732714 | Used: Very Good | Family \u0026 Relationships 1589235 (temp: 7)","offer_id":48754539331736,"sku":"1589235","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/711-JcHyNaL.jpg?v=1774116075","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/inheritance-a-memoir-of-genealogy-paternity-and-love","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
