How she reconciles these experiences with the DNA news is the crux of the story. Other folks in her life question her paternity and Jewish heritage, just based on that.
Shapiro is blond and blue-eyed, rather than carrying the coloring of either parent. And yet, at the same time she questions that connection, simply based on looks alone. She had a close relationship with her long-dead father, and feels connected to his family, their history and heritage. In the mix, you learn about her Orthodox Jewish upbringing and the kind of family she’s created for herself as an adult.
She then allows her readers to be a fly on the wall, as she dissects the situation and her feelings about it. On a lark, she does a DNA test and unexpectedly discovers that her dad isn’t her biological father. Dani Shapiro tells the true story of her DNA test journey in Inheritance: A Memoir of Genealogy, Paternity, and Love.
