LIKE A TWISTING DOUBLE HELIX OF DNA, these two satisfying stories of compelling and complex father-daughter pairs entwine with life-altering surprises. They bring compassion, humor, and understanding to the question of whether it is ever too late for paternal instinct.

EACH YEAR THOUSANDS OF MEN father children later placed for adoption or donor-conception. Some of them thought they would forget. Some claim they never knew. There are several million of these secret fathers in the United States alone – in The Birth-Fathers’ Club Series eight of them are about to get a knock on the door – as changing times catch up with them and with adoptive parents, recipient parents, anonymous donors, and the rest of our beloved ancestors.

~ Advanced Praise for Finding Faith: The Birth-Fathers’ Club Series:

“USING HER DEFT STORYTELLING SKILLS, Michele Kriegman…instills complex…issues with emotional immediacy. We get to know the ensemble cast of characters and to care about them as if we were family…. Finding Faith has a strong, satisfying ending.” ~ Elaine Durbach, former Bureau Chief, NJ Jewish News, author of the novel Roundabout

“VERY TOUCHING, THE ENDING FEELS SO AUTHENTIC…. Great story, and I enjoy all the connections Michele Kriegman makes between adoption and literature, the Bible, religion, poetry, plays, and more.” ~ Traci Onders, Staff Search Specialist, Adult Adoptees & DNA Discoveries at Adoption Network, Cleveland

“IN FINDING FAITH, MS. KRIEGMAN IS MASTERFUL at capturing the tension and emotion of a reunion between newfound genetic relatives. Her characters come to life on the page, rendering the drama and trauma so familiar to the Misattributed Parent Experience (MPE) community. Join Faith and her loved ones on the tumultuous ride of a DNA surprise, the emotional fallout…and finally the potential for redemption.” ~ Alesia Weiss, Co-founder, Right to Know

“MICHELE BRILLIANTLY CAPTURES THE NUANCES of search and reunion for both the biological family as well as the relinquished/adopted person. Her characters have relatable, realistic internal dialogues about the inevitable tensions in reunion and discovery. Her prose in world building flows naturally and beautifully setting the scene while drawing the reader through the narrative.” ~ Ridghaus, documentary film-maker of “Six Word Adoption Memoirs”

“THIS IS GREAT WRITING!... CALLS ON ALL FIVE senses…. Good suspense! As an adoptee who enjoyed ten years of reunion with my birth-father, it's wonderful to see the often under-represented and much needed birth-father perspectives Michele captures in Finding Faith.” ~ Patricia Meyer, Adoptee, Advocate and Blogger at My Adopted Life

“…THE OPPORTUNITY TO READ A STORY which brings together so many issues and conversations which arise from DNA discoveries…. This story is delivered with compassion and understanding for these characters based on the experiences of real people.” ~ Fred Firestone, Misattributed Parentage Experience (MPE) community advocate
