About this listen
She was told her grandmother died. She believed it—until the DNA test said otherwise.
For decades, Lisa accepted the story her family gave her: that her maternal grandmother had died when her mother was just a baby. But one ordinary day, a swab of DNA unraveled everything she thought she knew.
Instead of a death, there was a disappearance. Instead of closure, there were questions. And instead of grief, there was rage, curiosity, and a burning need to understand the woman who walked away—and the family she left behind.
Petals Left Behind is a raw, beautifully told memoir about the secrets that shape us, the silence we inherit, and what it means to reclaim your story—even when it hurts. It’s a journey through generations of loss, abandonment, intuition, and truth-telling, written with humor, heartbreak, and an unwavering drive to uncover what was buried.
This isn’t just a family mystery. It’s a reckoning. And Lisa — is done keeping quiet.
