DNA Surprises Lezlee Liljenberg’s Memoir

In this insightful and thought-provoking interview, Lezlee shares
with Betsy how her book combines her journey, the stories of
others, and inspiring poetry to encourage readers to uncover
surprising truths about their biological parents. Her memoir
details her discovery of her biological father, the judgment she
faced for pursuing the truth, and the challenges of navigating
relationships with family members and her community.

Betsy and Lezlee discuss the societal stigma often attached to
those seeking answers about their lineage and the unfairness of
judging someone for circumstances of their birth—situations they
had no control over. They also explore how DNA testing can reveal
surprises, children’s natural curiosity about their families, the
reasons behind family secrets, and the unjust stigmas women face
for pregnancies outside traditional norms.

The conversation broadens to cover the importance of knowing family
medical histories, particularly for those discovering new familial
connections, as well as the unique challenges faced by children of
LGBTQ+ families, sperm donors, egg donors, and surrogate mothers in
understanding their biological roots.
