Documents reveal her mother to be a vague, distant relative who died in a car crash. Her father is \"unknown.\" Vividly depicting the suburban Detroit neighborhood of her childhood, and the relentless search for her paternal roots as an adult, Harper's memoir culminates in a DNA test that delivers unexpected results. A compelling, and ultimately triumphant story, Almost Home illustrates how strong the longing for an authentic identity can be, and how the choices made by one generation can have a lasting impact on the next. \"Fully and movingly realized.\" - Deborah Ann Percy, author of Invisible Traffic \"The story is enthralling, with memorable characters, evocatively portrayed settings, and such tenderness.\" - Kathryn Rhett, author of Souvenir and Near Breathing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hilary Harper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tree Garden Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/05\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.64d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780998626208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHilary Harper writes personal essays and short fiction.
