Thicker Than Water by Kerry Washington

Popular obsession with genealogy has some twisted roots. Let's talk about it - but first: An award-winning actress and gladiator receives a call from her parents on a routine afternoon. Their nervous hesitations let her know something is wrong. She turns her car around, drives to the home, and sits in the living of the people she's known all her life as mom and dad, her protectors, her withholding parents. There, in that familiar home, they share a secret that begins to unravel the loose ends of her childhood memories.   The Gladiator: Kerry Washington The book: Thicker than Water by Kerry Washington   LET'S GET LIT!   View the video podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/@litsocietypod   Theme of the week discussion's source: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/05/09/our-obsession-with-ancestry-has-some-twisted-roots-maud-newton-ancestor-trouble   Find Alexis and Kari online:  Instagram — www.instagram.com/litsocietypod   Twitter — www.twitter.com/litsocietypod   Facebook — www.facebook.com/LitSocietyPod   Our website — www.LitSocietyPod.com.    Subscribe to emails and get free stuff: http://eepurl.com/gDtWCr
