Relative Uncertainty

by Alex Knibbs

Emma Bridges is a bright and intelligent 17-year old student. She is told as a young girl that the man she knows as her father is not her true biological father. Emma is shocked on hearing this the shock, in turn, piques her curiosity; a burgeoning curiosity that develops into a burning desire with each passing year, and she decides that now she wants to know more about her roots.And so begins her quest. Her search takes her on a tortuous trail that requires her to exhaust every ounce of her powers of tenacity and inquisitiveness, exploring old records, social media and even a visit to a local fertility clinic. She hits lucky but this is just the start of her journey that ultimately leads her to a stunning, life-changing surprise.Emma retains an air of resilience throughout, determined to maintain a ‘glass half full’ air of optimism, but even she is unprepared for the final twist in the tale as the story reaches its final, dramatic climax.

A very well written novel. Had me gripped from the first chapter. A very interesting topic and made me realise how complex being a sperm donor can be. It became obvious that this particular donor did not expect one of his children to track him down.
First class read. More please Alex.

A very well written book that left the punchline to the very end - it certainly kept me guessing and reading! A good first novel - would definitely read more from this author.

What happens when you discover that you are not who you think you are? For anyone that would be unsettling, but for a bright teenager, it's both unsettling and the start of a remarkable mystery and journey of self-discovery. An engaging read with lots of heart and questions about who we really are.

Can’t believe this is a first novel!
Can really relate to the characters and the story line has good pace.
Didn’t really want to put the book down with all its twists and turns.
Looking forward future novels by this author.
