A thrilling, twisty homage to The Face on the Milk Carton about a trans boy who discovers that he was kidnapped as a child, and that his birth parents are still out there searching... for their daughter.Jaden's seventeenth birthday was meant to be monumental. As a surprise, his dad and Jaden’s boyfriend, Andy, arranged to take him to the courthouse to get his name changed to reflect his gender. But, horrifyingly, the clerk accuses Jaden's dad of forging Jaden's original birth certificate, and due to his criminal past, he's arrested.Heartbroken but also suspicious, Jaden secretly takes a DNA test and makes an even more shocking discovery: he's not biologically related to his dad. Jaden can't imagine his mother cheating, but the truth might be worse -- further DNA testing also identifies Jaden as a perfect genetic match for a couple who have spent the last seventeen years searching for their kidnapped child.Their kidnapped daughter.After years of struggling to come to terms with his gender identity as well as his parents' complicated pasts, Jaden is forced to re-evaluate everything. Who is he really? And where does he belong? With the dad who raised and loved him, and supported his transition without question? Or with the parents Jaden's never met, who might never be able to accept Jaden as their son?
