A DNA Test from a Genealogy company was an unexpected gift and may just lead to her death. Life is unpredictable and full of surprise for Delta, whose mother is a prostitute and drug addict. Her father is unknown. Somehow she overcomes disastrous foster care placements and sexual abuse and is able to prosper in the worst of environments. Then her mother dies of a drug overdose when she is 15 and now she is truly alone. A high achiever in school without any support but fate had more in store for her. She is alone so alone that she asks a truck driver who is a total stranger to lie and become her guardian to prevent her from going back in foster care. Surprise, it works and with her guardian's support she achieves all her goals. She completes a biochemical engineering degree on the way to become a medical researcher committed to solving the issue of drug dependence. Accepted at prestigious medical schools she has the world under control, or at least she thinks so. Then-She takes that simple DNA test promoted by an ancestor genealogy site and her world is forever changed. She may find a father she never wanted but at the same time she may be killed for finding him. The few people she loves are now in danger of being hurt or killed because they know her story. Is her father trying to kill her? If not her father, who would want to end her life and why? Just who will save Delta? The truth is in her genes.
