AJ Jacobs ITS ALL RELATIVE: ADVENTURES UP AND DOWN THE WORLDS FAMILY TREE

We can choose our friends, but not our family!

In his new book, New York Times bestselling author of The Know-It-All and The Year of Living Biblically, A.J. Jacobs shares his hilarious, heartfelt quest to understand what constitutes family---how to convene an enormous family reunion---and his three-year adventure to help build the biggest family tree in the world.

Jacobs upends, in ways both meaningful and hilarious, our understanding of genetics and genealogy, tradition and tribalism, identity & connection. Jacobss journey would take him to all seven continents. Along the way, he drank beer with a U.S. president, found himself singing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and unearthed genetic links to Hollywood actresses and real-life scoundrels. Its All Relative is a fascinating look at the bonds that connect us all.
