The Foundling: The True Story of a Kidnapping, a Family Secret, and My Search for the Real Me by Paul Joseph Fronczak, Alex Tresniowski

2.0

Paul Joseph Fronczak's story is fascinating - almost unbelievable. The Foundling was a quick read; it definItely kept my interest, due to my own interest in genealogy. The story has many twists and turns, and the mystery is not completely solved by the end of the book, although some part has apparently been resolved since the book was published in 2017. As evidenced by my quick reading, I did enjoy this book; it just wasn't great.

Tying into my own family, Paul's adoptive mother was the daughter of Croatian immigrants and her sister married a Majestic (Joseph), a name which appears in my extended family. (50)

Also, one of the real Paul suspects, Sam Miller, suffered from the hereditary PKD, which also affects some of my family members. (162)
