All In Due Time

Kate Troll's frank personal memoir proves that Tolstoy was wrong - All happy families are not alike. The six talented, close-knit Troll siblings shared a loving, fun-filled childhood and remain best of pals as adults. Turns out, there is something (or I should say someone?) missing. And that is only half of it. All in Due Time is full of surprises and puzzles, but mostly it made me wish I were a long-lost Troll.

¿¿¿¿¿¿An emotionally satisfying story with a charming cast of characters and a big-hearted perspective, All In Due Time is a fitting memoir for our era of genetic surprises. Unlike many memoirs on this topic, Troll conveys the sunnier side of digging into dark family secrets, weaving a tale of joy, inclusivity, and empathy.

¿¿¿¿As an only child, as an adoptee, and as an Alaskan I loved this book. The writing was so good, I couldn't put it down. As a result of reading All In Due Time, I now have decided to learn about my biological father's family.
