A devastating discovery hidden in a nightstand rewrites everything he knew about family-and himself.
When Rich Boerner flew across the country to clean out his late mother's New York apartment, he expected grief-not a total rewrite of his personal history. In the middle of boxes, photos, and fading memories, he finds something shocking: evidence that his life as an only child was a myth, and the identity of the man who was actually his father.
With equal parts humor, heartbreak, and razor-sharp storytelling, The Not-So Only Child unpacks the layers of one man's life as it's turned upside down by secrets too long buried. Raised by a fiercely independent single mom in a close-knit Queens adjacent apartment, Rich always believed his family story was simple. But what begins as a nostalgic return home morphs into a journey of self-discovery that uncovers decades of silence, hidden love, and a family member who had been just out of reach for his entire life.
As Rich reconnects with the truth and the family he never knew he had, he brings readers along for an unforgettable ride-filled with laugh-out-loud memories, gut-wrenching revelations, and a tribute to the power of a mother's love that echoes across generations. Whether he's describing life as a diabetic kid navigating Little League dreams, or a grown man confronting family betrayal and emotional closure, Rich's voice is clear, vulnerable, and irresistibly engaging.
This is a memoir for anyone who's ever questioned their roots, lost a parent, or felt the pull of unfinished stories. It's a book about grief, resilience, and the healing power of truth-told by a natural storyteller who knows how to hold your attention and your heart.
The Not-So Only Child reminds us that life's greatest plot twists don't come from fiction-but from the letters we were never meant to find.
