Finding him will settle the debate on my family’s ancestry and silence the haters and non-believers. And it will show all the girls who taunted me in high school that they didn’t break me.   What was your greatest talent? I’m a damn good archaeologist. The people who came before us left pieces of themselves on this earth. If you listen closely, you can hear them. If you stop to touch the dirt, you can feel their spirits.
