A loving family, a child on the way, and a secret concealed for generations that has the power to tear them apart. The Family Tree is a powerful novel perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult. Dana Clarke has it all - a husband, Hugh, who she adores, a beautiful home in a wealthy area, and a baby on the way. But, when her daughter, Lizzie, is born, what should be the happiest day of her life turns out to be the moment that her world falls apart. Lizzie is beautiful, healthy, and black... Born from two white parents, there are only two possibilities: that a distant relative was of African descent, or that Dana has had an affair. As the Clarke family reel from the shock, accusations are thrown and soon the trust that Dana and Hugh had prided themselves on is slipping away. So begins a poignant journey to uncover the truth about their past, to discover what legacy their ancestors left them. And, as the stability of the Clarke family is torn apart, the reader is forced to ask how much any one of us really knows about our own identity.

This is an awsome book!!! The author paints a very creditable picture. She raises some very interesting questions that still bother our society today. She helps the reader question his own values and helps us put ourselves into the insights that she brings to the "characters " in her story. It is a good read the first time through. and more insightful as you re-read it. My advise is just to ENJOY IT ! ! !

Interesting read
It is interesting to see how we perceive ourselves. Do we truly believe what we say we do? The story makes you think about how we react to someone who is different from us. Every family has its secrets. Dana and Hugh's families are no different. Only this time it involves a baby's heritage. It is a test of relationships. It is finding out who we are.
