Dani Shapiro, Signal Fires
Dani Shapiro is an expert in secrets, lived and fictional. In her gripping memoir Inheritance: A Memoir of Genealogy, Paternity, and Love, she unraveled the truth of her own birth father, an anonymous donor whose sperm had been mixed up with that of the man she’d always believed to be her dad — and, in the process, explored age-old questions about biology, history and experience shaping our destinies. Now, in her return to fiction with Signal Fires, she again delves into secrets, this time about a deadly accident, a young doctor caught in the chaos, the lonely boy whose presence bursts the bubble concealing the long-hidden story, the ties that bind families together — and how easily they are torn apart.
Bestselling writer and host of the podcast Family Secrets, Dani Shapiro is the author of five previous novels and five memoirs.
