Gilbert, Sybil's son, had wanted to give to give his $43 to a homeless woman, but when he tried, she was gone.

A long letter to her daughter Fiona. There's a major character named Fiona in "Shameless" that I've been watching. I pictured her as I was reading.

Mick asks Sybil to marry him. She was 75 at one point, but the letters are a mess, and it's hard to know for sure. I'm not sure who Mick is anyway, and the book is almost finished.

Who's Theodore? Too many minor characters you lose track of. Letters don't help.This book desperately needs an intro where Evans could tell us who these people are.

Sybil's daughter is angry with her for not attending her ex-husband's funeral.

Sybil has a 49% DNA match. She contacts her.

It's hard to keep track of these people, but Daan is Sybil's ex-husband; he dies and leaves her money. She wasn't expecting anything.

Sybil letters from the 1950's, others from 2015. She takes a DNA test; she's British, Native American, and Russian.

Sybil and Mick are corresponding. He invites her to dinner. I don't know if they'd met in person. I don't think so.

Sybil seems to have been adopted. There's a letter from her mother to her adoptive parents.
