About this listen

What would you do if you discovered your father is not your biological father? Or your mother is not the woman that gave birth to you? This is what happened to author Lezlee Liljenberg. In learning her truth, she realized there were thousands of people just like her that were dealing with this new reality.

DNA testing can be helpful to find long-lost relatives and create your genealogy tree, but can also reveal family secrets that can no longer be hidden. When this happened to Liljenberg, she was thrown into the world of being an NPE (Not-Parent Expected). This book delves into Liljenberg’s experience of her DNA surprise, discovery, and research. She shares her stories and those of others as she helps the listener navigate the drama, joy, and acceptance of these very sensitive journeys.

This book can help NPEs understand they are not alone and that there are many ways to deal with these revelations. It will also provide insight for those walking with someone on this path of discovery, or those who are in denial about newly-found members in their family. NPEs are included in every race, religion, and gender, and it can occur in anyone’s life at any time. It is how we deal with it that makes the difference.
