    Fiona and Beverley's parents never spoke much about their past. There was no extended family to speak of, no wedding photos, no nostalgic storytelling in their family's household. This was simply life as normal - why would it not be? - until their father died. With his death, family secrets long buried began to surface, and when Fiona and Beverley began to peer beneath the surface, a whole tangled history began to reveal itself.

    Tracing their family roots back to the 17th century, Fiona and Beverley discover a family history that threads itself through great historical events, international scandals, and domestic dilemmas. Touching upon politics, war, and a whole host of societal factors that shaped their family, Fiona's tale weaves together the personal and the historical as she learns both the truth of the man who raised her and about the world that brought his family to this point in time and place.

    A fascinating illumination of what it means to know one's own history.

    Family's Exile to California, is a collection of emails sent
    to family and friends over a three year period when Fiona
    and her family moved to San Francisco, all the highs and
    lows of living the American Dream.
