From These Hills - An American Family's Odyssey Michael Moore

For over sixty years, Michael Moore believed that his mother had died when he was in high school. He had, moreover, known nothing about his father except that he has died when Mike was only six months old. Those two facts formed the boundaries of his family history until a random entry into a computer search engine and an encounter with a statue in Ireland destroyed that history and sent him and his wife Sue on a search for the truth. That search took them the length and breadth of the U.S. as they cranked through miles of microfilm, made new and dear friends, haunted graveyards, and turned up new relatives by the score - all of whom made him feel welcome and part of a larger family he had never known. He discovered not only what happened to his parents, but he also discovered in his father's diary what love and family really meant. In so doing, he learned some fundamental truths about himself. The book, therefore, is about two odysseys - one to reclaim his family, the other to find himself.
