520    "Alex Wagner grew up with a patchwork picture of her 
       identity. She was the daughter of two great waves of 
       immigration: her Irish father's American roots were in the
       19th century stream of Europeans looking to start over, 
       and her Burmese mother arrived as part of the mid-20th-
       century wave of Asian and Latin American immigrants, 
       fleeing their own civil wars and economic crises. Both 
       sides of her family embraced America as their new home, 
       leaving behind the Old World, except for the occasional 
       ritual, now emptied of meaning. Alex grew up only knowing 
       that she was brown--a harbinger of a future America, one 
       where we'd gotten past our atavistic ideas of race and 
       ancestry. But this noble idea left her feeling empty and 
       alone. Then one day a cousin on her father's side--the 
       family historian--let slip a family secret: their great-
       grandfather, the first Wagner to settle in America, might 
       have been Jewish. And Alex was suddenly awakened to the 
       possibility of actually being someone--having an identity 
       that mattered, a tribe to belong to--and was intoxicated 
       by the possibility. So she set off on a quest to find the 
       truth about her family story and to answer the deeper, 
       nagging questions: Who am I? And where do I belong?"--
