ADVANCE PRAISE FOR FINDING SISTERS:

Finding Sisters is an excellent example of what it takes to solve a family mystery. Yet it’s also a captivating story of human relationships in the age of secrecy-revealing DNA databases…. Refreshingly honest and personal. Like no other DNA success story, Finding Sisters uses footnotes and family tree diagrams to show exactly how the search unfolds. This makes the book a clever hybrid of a memoir and a case study” – Richard Hill, author of Finding Family: My Search for Roots and the Secrets in My DNA

Rebecca Daniels lays out quite beautifully what one can expect from a logistical standpoint, while acknowledging that the emotional ride might be different for everyone.” – Jay Sefton, Licensed Mental Health Counselor

GREENFIELD RECORDER: “The focus on everyday life and on the relationship between Alec and Mary ends up being one of the book’s greatest assets.” FULL REVIEW HERE

The Montague Reporter: “The book moves swiftly along, while at the same time capturing the frustration of their prolonged separation. The historical timeline provides just the right bit of historical context to these war years behind at the tail of the army. This is not the typical WWII combat book.”

SUNBURY PRESS READER REVIEW: “This book made me feel almost like I was right there with Alec and Mary as they experienced that time of their lives. My parents, being the same age, also had a similar experience and I thought of them as I read every word.The author cleverly brought to life their story and for that I shall be forever grateful.” (5 stars)
