Futureface

A Family Mystery, an Epic Quest, and the Secret to Belonging

Alex Wagner

Futureface is a rich and revealing memoir by acclaimed journalist Alex Wagner. It follows her quest around the world and into her own DNA to answer the ultimate questions of who she really is and where she belongs, confronting the question at the heart of the American experience of immigration, race, and identity. Wagner weaves together fascinating history, genetic science, and sociology to meditate on what makes us who we are and to find the story where we all belong in a time of conflict over who we are as a country.

I once wrote a book on my own search for identity, so I was curious to see what Alex, daughter of a Burmese mother and Iowan Irish-Catholic father – and a friend of mine – discovered during her own. What she came up with is a thoughtful, beautiful meditation on what makes us who we are – the search for harmony between our own individual identities and the values and ideals that bind us together as Americans.      source
