Grim and yet…

The strength of this book is how it details geneological forensics. I had mixed feelings about the authors description of her own parenting and road trips, I couldn’t really relate to it, but over time I could see its value in context- especially when it was clear her imagination about who people may be was laid aside for the reality of who they were; ie that her altruism truly was for the people and the memory of them, not just her (or my) own macabre fascination with the crime or tragedy surrounding their death. Great audiobook.
