Marra Gad, an independent film and television producer, writes an unforgettable memoir about being an adopted mixed-race Jewish woman. After a 15-year estrangement, when her racist great aunt is struck with Alzheimer’s, the author helps bring her aunt home. This is a story about what we inherit from our family – identity, ethnicity, conflict and most powerfully, love.
