Inheritance can be tricky. Families can lie. In the new book Descendant Deception, Kimi J. Baibre-Jackson explores the accidental unearthing of the well-hidden secret of her father’s true identity in this genuine story of self-discovery, love, and truth. After being told her dad is not her biological father at the age of 32, she runs through a gauntlet of emotions; but also finds the puzzle pieces of her life a much better fit. And, finally, at the age of 50, she meets her biological father and the outcome is not at all what she expected.What if your father is not your father? Long before DNA tests could reveal shocking information, Kimi J. Baibre-Jackson was tracked down by a long lost relative, one she never knew she had. In Descendant Deception, the chronicle of one woman’s journey to uncover her true family tree takes unexpected twists and turns...and culminates in a surprise ending no one sees coming.Who’s Your Daddy? This phrase often conjures up laughter. It is seen as a joke. The dictionary defines it as a slang expression that, in one use, takes the form of a rhetorical question. It can be described as a video game, a term to describe sexual dominance, or a song lyric...Paternity Fraud is often described as the intentional decision to keep the identity of the biological father from him and/or the man who ultimately raises the child. But what of the child? What is it called when the father(s) know, but the child does not?Descendant Deception is used to describe betrayal of the child in such situations. So-called because if the truth is never exposed, generations of people will unknowingly believe they come from an ancestor of which they did not. This book explores the decision made when the author was a baby to keep the identity of her biological father private, not from him, but from me. You will read how the seemingly simple decision, or little white lie, changed the trajectory of life forever. 3
