"I borrowed this book (The Lost Family by Libby Copeland) from the local library, and was attracted by the story of the two sisters who learned through DNA testing that they did not have Irish descent, even though they are now dead. My father said he is 100% Irish. In this non-fiction work, I learned about the application of DNA testing in solving crimes and investigating crimes. I heard that many people are learning a new acronym-NPE, this Represents a non-paternity test event, which means that the person they think is their father is not their biological parents, which makes me sad." — Mary Marshall, York
