A memoir of race, place, and acceptance, relating the startling discovery that prior to her adoption as an infant by a middle class white Midwestern family, Amy Roost’s parents had adopted–and returned–a Black child. Roost’s search for the shadowy “sister” her parents left behind leads her to redefine the true meaning of family. Roost is a podcaster and journalist; part of this story was featured in the New York Times Magazine. (West Virginia University Press, World English, 2028 pub)
