📚 Blurb

Born out of wedlock in post-war Germany, a child enters the world between two people seeking escape and renewal — a young woman desperate to break free from her circumstances, and a former POW longing to start over.

When a life-changing decision separates father and daughter forever, a chain of events unfolds that will shape generations to come. Raised first by her grandmother, and later taken to America, Maddie grows up caught between identities, never fully understanding where she belongs.

Decades later, a shocking revelation about her family’s past — one tied to a Nazi eugenics programme — sets her on a journey to uncover the truth about her origins.

Illegitimate is a powerful true story of identity, belonging, and the courage it takes to face the past in order to understand who we truly are.
