À propos de ce contenu audio
ONE OF PEOPLE MAGAZINE'S BEST SUMMER READS 2022
For most of her life, Chrysta Bilton was one member of a small, if dysfunctional, family of four. There was her sister, Kaitlyn; her hedonistic, glamorous, gay mum, Debra; and Jeffrey, whom Debra hand-picked, in an LA hairdressers, to be the father of her children. During Chrysta's unstable childhood, Debra struggled to keep the family afloat and Jeffrey wandered in and out of their lives.
Then, in her 20s, Chrysta discovered that her father had secretly donated his sperm more than 500 times—and that she had at least 35 other siblings.
A Normal Family is a captivating coming-of-age memoir about Chrysta's reckoning with the secrets both parents had carefully kept from her. Heartfelt, warm and funny, it's a story of embracing the family we have, in all the forms we find it.
