In this captivating novel, a DNA test turns a woman's world upside-down. Will searching for answers give her the peace she craves--or deepen the fractures in her life? Dylan Turner works hard to keep her life predictable, though she would never call it that--she loves her routine, two guinea pigs, and minding her own business. But when her dad dies and the DNA test results in her inbox say he's not her biological father, the life she's so carefully built starts to unravel.
Craving answers and getting none from her mother, Dylan follows a sparse trail of clues across the country to where she grew up. It's a journey full of unexpected encounters, including a friendly co-worker and another familiar face from her past--one she isn't sure is a solace or an obstacle. As Dylan digs deeper into her family's secrets, she can't help but wonder,
Is a comfortable lie better than the pain of knowing the truth? Woven with emails, interviews, texts, and journal entries,
Nearly Beloved is a heartfelt tale about looking for answers, even if they aren't the ones you were expecting.
