About this listen

What happens when your family tells you one thing, but a DNA test tells you another?

Georgina Lawton grew up in a loving family but she didn’t look like anyone else. She has dark eyes, curly hair and brown skin. Both her parents were white.

Georgina took a DNA test. The results changed her life forever.

With millions around the world using 'do-it-yourself' DNA testing kits, Georgina follows the stories of those learning to live with the results.

A Loftus Media production for Audible Originals.

Stumbled on this and thought I would listen.
Family life and its predicaments comes in many forms,and this is told in a real honest way.
Georgina's story is fascinating, I couldn't stop listening.
I will proceed to reading her book called "Raceless: In Search of Family, Identity, and the Truth About Where I Belong"

Wasn't expecting this story so thought provoking

I was absolutely hooked. It's really hard to embed vulnerability into your life when you know it's going to hurt others but Georgina has shown that pushing through all of that really does pay off, better relationships not only with the people around her but with herself too. Really moving snd informative.

Brilliant!
