CHAPTER 5: The Ideal Emissary

  • Summary

  • On Monday, February 19, 2018, Edie reads the first communication from her newly discovered biological family, sent overnight by her baby brother on the West Coast. "I am excited to meet you and help you figure out more about your family and history," a surprised Justin writes. John, their father, was a politically active Vietnam vet/grad student at LSU when Edie was conceived, explains Justin, who was raised by his mother and stepfather; he visited John growing up. "I see and am in touch with him regularly," Justin mentions, "so I can ask questions for you."

    Edie replies that Monday evening with primers about her life and her nascent search for whomever their father hooked up with in Baton Rouge in early 1970. She and Jeremy are already in bed when Justin replies at the stroke of midnight.
