Found at Last: A Journey of Family, Memory, and Belonging -- Madlyn Epstein Steinhart, Paperback
A missing family. A haunting DNA match. A woman determined to uncover the truth.
For decades, Madlyn Epstein Steinhart lived with unanswered questions about her paternal relatives - questions no one in her family could or would explain. Why had contact stopped? What caused the silence? And who were the people she was never allowed to know?
When a DNA match appears unexpectedly, Maddy's life changes. Drawing on her experience as a volunteer "search angel," she embarks on a relentless, deeply personal investigation into her family's past. Her search takes her through genealogy databases, historical records, and the Dorot Jewish Division of the New York Public Library, revealing long-lost cousins across the United States and Europe.
What she uncovers is more than a family tree. It is a story of resilience, estrangement, reconnection, and the emotional inheritance carried across generations.
Found at Last is a powerful journey for anyone who has ever felt a missing piece inside - a reminder that every family holds stories worth discovering, and that belonging can be found in the most unexpected places.
Perfect for readers who enjoy:
- Genealogy and family-history journeys
- Memoirs of identity, healing, and self-discovery
- Stories of reconnection after loss or silence
- Jewish family history and heritage
