Nicole Georges had a very unstructured and at times dysfunctional childhood- half raised by her two sisters (10 and 12 years her senior), alternately indulged and neglected by her flighty mother. One constant was the belief that her biological father died of colon cancer when she was less than two years old. When she was 23, a palm reader told Georges that her biological father was very much alive. For some reason, this struck her as a statement that could not be laughed away. This book recounts Georges attempts to alternately ignore and interrogate the fact that she may have been lied to during her entire youth. Filling these pages are the other facets of George's life- caring for a rotating menagerie of dogs and rescued chickens; the beginning and end of a band and a relationship and an ongoing search for a fulfilling creative life.
