Joseph is a happy young adult who loves his family and has no questions about who he is until he turns 14. His social studies assignment on family heritage story make him wonder about who he really is. Is he Italian like his adoptive family? Is he Korean like his birth parents? Who is Joseph?

Joseph embarks his adventure to search for his birth mother and in the end comes to terms with his unique identity.

You will enjoy this light-hearted story that tells you that families are never perfect. but we are still love each other.
