In this inspirational memoir, Grey's Anatomy actor Isaiah Washington explains how filling in the gaps of his past led him to discover a new passion: helping those less fortunate. DNA testing revealed that Washington was descended from the Mende people, who today live in Sierra Leone.

A final postscript to Washington's story also doubles as a historic moment: in 2008, he was awarded citizenship in Sierra Leone based on his DNA results. Dual citizenship has been a dream of African-Americans like Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X, but Washington became the first to realize that honor. A twofold milestone, it was also the first time an African president granted citizenship based on DNA.
