Summary
At 38 years old, Katie Delimon opened a DNA test expecting to confirm what she'd always believed about her heritage. Instead, she discovered the man who raised her wasn't her biological father, and that the truth had been hiding in plain sight her entire life. A man her family called "the beach guy," someone she'd actually described as "creepy" in her first memoir, turned out to be her biological father. Both he and her mother had already passed away, leaving Katie with questions no one alive could fully answer. When she started making calls, the responses stunned her, one aunt admitted she'd known since Katie was four years old and never said a word.
Katie is a trauma-informed coach and keynote speaker. Her bestselling memoir is Trust the Flames.
