What if you grew up believing a lie? Author, writer, reporter, and producer, Carmen Rita Wong and her brother, Alex, were born to a Dominican mother and a Chinese father - or she thought. So what would you do if, as your mother lay dying, you found out that she’d been lying to you about your father’s identity? Would you accept your mother’s deathbed confession? Or would you do some real detective work to find out if she was telling the truth?
