Strangers in Blood: Distanced Lives Janice Law

IF YOU'VE EVER wondered about your blood relatives: Who ARE these people? I have absolutely nothing in common with them--you'll identify with Strangers-in-Blood. Dramatically tracking a card with no return address, Janice Law stirs the ashes of a SO-year estrangement from a much older brother; while trying to unrav-el a mystery of their heritage. With her experiences, she interweaves profiles of celebrities who reveal their family estrangements. PBS host John Bradshaw, African-American sculptor Ed Hamilton, sportsbiz whiz Michael Veeck, Pulitzer Prize winner Rick Bragg and others share their personal secrets. Law, a former federal and state prosecutor, defense attorney, criminal court judge, and journal-ist, is the author of Yield: A Judge's Fir$t-Year Diary and Sex Appealed: Was the U. S. Supreme Court Fooled? Both books have been featured on CSpan2's BOOKTV.
