On November 9, author Libby Copeland joined us via Zoom to discuss her new book The Lost Family: How DNA Testing Is Upending Who We Are.
The Lost Family: How DNA Testing Is Upending Who We Are (Abrams, 2020) explores the culture of genealogy, the science of DNA, and the business of DNA testing, all while tracing the story of one woman, her unusual results, and a relentless methodical drive for answers that becomes a thoroughly modern genetic detective story. The book investigates how home DNA testing has impacted many communities, including adoptees, the donor-conceived, and those who didn’t start out with questions about their families – but found questions posed by their DNA results.
