The Truth Before

by Lynda

Every one of us is the place where two family histories meet. Two lines of people, running side by side, until something pulls them together: an adoption file, a DNA test, a father who isn't the father. The Truth Before is about the lives lived before that moment: birthmothers who were told to forget, birth fathers who were never asked, the brothers and sisters who grew up beside a secret they never saw, and everyone who stood close enough to feel it without ever being told. It's about the truth people carried before anyone else knew it, and what happens when two stories finally collide. Hosted by Lynda, who lived this story herself, and has spent years walking beside others through theirs.
