About this listen

Finding Family: My Search for Roots and the Secrets in My DNA was a Global Ebook Awards gold medal winner and a Next Generation Indie Book Awards finalist. It is Richard Hill's true and intensely personal story of how he pieced together the long-kept secret of his own origins. This highly suspenseful book is a compelling saga of personal detective work that will appeal to anyone who loves a good mystery. But this isn't fiction. It's an engrossing account of an adoptee trying to reclaim the biological family denied him by sealed birth records. This fascinating quest, including the author's landmark use of DNA testing, takes listeners on an exhilarating roller-coaster ride and concludes with a twist that rivals anything Hollywood has to offer.

I have never listened to a Genealogy story so gripping and emotional in my life. I was there with Richard all the way and am so so pleased you found who you are

This could have been so boring but the twists and turns of the author's journey to find his birth father keep the audience listening. Apart from a short section where I lost track a little, it was well written. As much a guide to the history of Dna services as it is a family story. Definitely a good read!

Excellent book. Richard's determination to track down his family roots was amazing. I'm trying to trace my paternal origins through dna.

Couldn't wait to read next chapter.

I was totally engrossed in this book from start to finish. Not just a look at 25 years of searching but also a truly fascinating look at the development of genetic genealogy and it’s potential to shake out those family secrets that up till now have been firmly locked away behind generations of locked doors . A great story beautifully narrated, what more could you want.?
