"Claiming Kin is a story about a woman's quest to discover her roots upon the death of the father she barely knew. A former journalist hungry for the truth, she conducted a search into the past that led her from her hometown of Nashville, Tennessee, back to the birthplace of the Scruggs family in nearby Williamson County. There she traced the family back to 1847 and the Scruggs farm, where her ancestors were once slaves.
Her journey soon became a spiritual and emotional one, forcing her to examine not only her own beliefs about the importance of family but also her religious beliefs as she turned toward honoring her ancestors. This is a tale that will capture the heart and mind."--BOOK JACKET.
