The Mistress’s Daughter

“The acclaimed writer A.M. Homes was given up for adoption before she was born. Her biological mother was a twenty-two-year-old single woman who was having an affair with a much older married man who had a family of his own. The Mistress’s Daughter is Homes’s ruthlessly honest account of what happened when, thirty years later, her birth parents came looking for her. Digging through each of her family histories, Homes delivers a twenty-first-century electronic search for self. Daring, heartbreaking, and startlingly funny, this is a brave and profoundly moving consideration of identity and family.”
