Family Addition

By W.C. Burkhalter

What happens when your family tree grows in directions you never expected?

When Kova-half Black, half white-takes a DNA test on a whim, she's not expecting it to unlock a hidden web of half-siblings scattered across the country. There's Kai, a reserved half-Asian coder from Seattle. And then three full siblings: a spirited sister, a quiet brother who writes poetry in the margins of his life, and another whose truth-about himself and the past-remains carefully guarded.

Thrown together by blood but shaped by vastly different lives, these five strangers must learn how to become family, while navigating the pain of suppressed feelings, mixed heritage, identity struggles, and the beautiful, messy math of human connection.

Family Addition is a powerful, voice-driven novel about what we inherit, what we rewrite, and the unexpected ways we become whole.
