Produktbeschreibung
All his life, Jimmy thought he knew who he was until a dying man's secret shattered everything. Jimmy, a dedicated science teacher from Sedona, AZ, cherishes his simple and contented life until his uncle urges him to write his life story. Before he dies, he leaves Jimmy with his wealth for the task. What begins as an ordinary storytelling venture unravels shocking truths: Uncle Joe is not just his uncle but his biological father. Even more staggering is the discovery of his mother's lineage: she was the only daughter of an Armenian genocide survivor couple from Bitlis. This discovery sends Jimmy on a life-changing journey of self-discovery and purpose. To honor his family history, he feels obligated to reopen his grandmother's long-closed atelier in Cambridge, a testament to Armenian artistry and strength. Jimmy's close friend Maria, now a gifted ghostwriter and psychic, helps him piece together the fragments of his family's past, using documents and historical accounts. In a subplot, Maria's abilities extend beyond mere words; as a formal psychologist, her senses allow her to perceive events across time and space, enabling her to see things from the past. A story of hidden roots, My Uncle Joe is a journey through truth, loss, and the forgiving power of heritage.
