Lamina is part two of three books where two television journalists interview 100-year old Jonara Pindus, the mother of female-couple fertility, to discover what led Jonara to her profession. Jonara continues the story from her thirteenth birthday where she goes back in time to witness many layers of ancestral history starting with her mother's detention in Portland and adding various places from 1939 to 1970 including Spain, Wisconsin, Greece, Pacific Ocean, Alabama, Africa, Palestine, Texas, New Zealand, and Vietnam.
