The Lost Family: How DNA Testing is Upending Who We Are by journalist Libby Copeland is the November read for the Monday night book club that meets at the library. In The Lost Family, Copeland investigates what happens when we embark on a vast social experiment with little understanding of the ramifications. She explores the culture of genealogy buffs, the science of DNA, & the business of companies like Ancestry & 23andMe, all while tracing the story of one woman, her unusual results, & a relentless methodical drive for answers that becomes a thoroughly modern genetic detective story.
