BlindSighted: A Journey of Identity, Faith, and Healing

Description

An intimate and evocative memoir of identity and the definition of family. At the age of 54, successful entrepreneur and faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon), Rich Christiansen discovers his ancestors aren’t who he thought they were and that he and his brothers are only partly related. This reveal—during what was supposed to be a fun, “let’s see where our family is from” DNA test—shatters Rich’s perception of himself, his identity, and his parents, and tests his faith. It launches him on a search for healing, acceptance, and self-love.

I hope this book will lead others to facing their demons and lead to a path of identity, healing, and internal confidence.
