About the Book (Excerpts & Info)
I am a DNA dead-end. The journey of a genetic signature that originated tens of thousands of years ago and wound its way through the ages, the eras, the centuries and generations of my maternal ancestors to fuse into my being at the moment of my own conception ends with me. Maternal DNA, called mitochondrial DNA or MtDNA, is passed by mothers to all their children, male or female, but only daughters pass it on to the next generation. That means that the MtDNA passed on by mother to daughter for thousands of years remains essentially the very same MtDNA. Whenever a woman does not give birth to a daughter, she becomes a DNA dam, a DNA dead-end..like me. My maternal DNA was one of many hereditary gifts given to me by my ancestors including my dear grandmother Kate. Kate survived a sad and turbulent childhood at the turn of the twentieth century in order to make that gift which resulted in my safe, secure childhood, starkly different from her own. For more than thirty years during Kate's life and after her death, I struggled to research her family lineage and history, determined to discover her "story" and dilute her painful childhood memories with a broad tale of the generations that defined us. This is that tale.
Deftly constructed at 174 pages, Past-Forward: ....a three-decade and three-thousand-mile journey home.... is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Biography & Autobiography / Cultural Heritage category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, Past-Forward meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $26.95.
Additionally, Past-Forward can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press wholesale online bookstore at www.outskirtspress.com/buybooks
