Daughters

2013 BRAG Medallion honoree.

Some people intentionally mislead others about their ethnicity. Marie did it unknowingly.

Twenty-four-year-old Marie Marchetti has just experienced a life-altering revelation-the identity of her real father. As she packs for her first visit with him and his family, she wonders how her life is about to change, how they will receive her, and what she will learn about her own identity.

A lot happens as a result of Marie's Thanksgiving visit, and in her search for peace and truth in her life, she quickly learns that disparate lives can converge and interact in profound and surprising ways. But ironically the most consequential outcome of her visit unexpectedly grows out of an encounter with a twelve-year-old girl named Rachael.
