About
What if your search to discover your roots unearthed a secret buried for over sixty years-one
that would not only rewrite your family's story forever, but shatter the heart of someone closest
to you?
At just twenty-two, Sharon embarked on a journey to learn about her family's heritage. Over
time, she became the family's historian, carefully documenting generations of stories,
photographs, and shared memories.
Then, seventeen years later, a DNA test revealed a shocking truth that left Sharon questioning all
she thought she'd known, and she was faced with one of the toughest decisions of her life: to
reveal the truth and risk upending the life of someone dear to her, or keep this secret to herself?
This raw and honest narrative follows Sharon's journey to uncover the truth and discover a
family she's never met. Through tales of love across social and religious divides, Autumn Leaves
takes readers from the 1950s tenements of New York's Lower East Side to a glittering hotel in
Connecticut and the world of burlesque, and on to present-day California-all woven together by
a diamond necklace and a haunting song of lament.
For fans of Margo Reilly's When You Shake the Family Tree and Inheritance by Dani Shapiro,
Autumn Leaves is a testament to the power of faith, love, and forgiveness, which heals the
hardest truths.
