Uprooted is a must-read for anyone looking to understand the donor-conception industry—yes, industry—and the effects it’s having on people as they struggle to understand their origins. With the dawn of the mail-in DNA test, people’s true identities are coming to light as quickly as opening an email. Deep secrets are crumbling as genetic bewilderment shakes the core of families from all walks of life. Peter J. Boni takes readers through his personal search for the truth about his own identity, while educating them about the donor-conception industry’s checkered past. His deft writing manages to both entertain and educate. I highly recommend that anyone interested in the growing MPE (“misattributed parental event”) phenomenon add this book to their library.
