Chauncey Smith had loving, attentive parents and a safe, nurturing home. But he knew a piece of him was missing—a relationship with his biological parents. Adopted as an infant, Chauncey was raised with the importance of Family and Faith. But it wasn’t until adulthood, when Chauncey set out on a quest to locate his biological mother and father, that he truly understood this. At times joyous, at times heartbreaking, Chauncey’s journey included his adoptive parents and siblings, friends, and biological family members who didn’t even know who he was. His determination to make peace with his past culminated in an experience readers won’t be likely to forget. Written for those raised by their biological parents as well as adoptees, So That’s Who I Am sheds light on what it’s like to be adopted and provides a relatable yet unique story sure to resonate with other adoptees. Regardless of their backgrounds, however, readers will learn that adoptees didn’t have a choice: our first inheritance was abandonment. We are simply different—neither better nor worse—and we can find healing in this journey.

The first chapter is an annotated autobiography of the author to introduce the reader to the background that the author is drawing from for his conclusions. He is a working class, a commonerno silver spoon here. He spent most of his life struggling to make ends meet while working in the private sector, and then in the final years of his work life, he worked in the public sector and got involved in the labor movement and politics where the political work was done. The revelations of his findings will probably not going to win him any friends within either party because, as the book discloses, nobody has clean hands, including the people that go to the polls or sit at home and throw stones at the gladiators. The book throws stones at everybody, including himself. The books suggests where we, as a people, began to go wrong and stray from the path our ancestors laid out for us. It is the books assertion that our nation is in decline because our culture has been compromised and is in decline. Its purpose is to strike a note toward fixing our problems, starting in the home.
