Brought home by adoptive parents only five days after his birth in November of 1940, author Philip Klaus was raised against the majestic backdrop of the Pacific Northwest. For years, he grew up searching for his sense of identity and his origins. In Blood Ties, Klaus narrates how he looked for his birth parents for many years.

He tells how he was born in secrecyonly his mother and father knew he existed. That secret was kept for seventy years. Klaus quest to find his family and to find answers about himself was filled with gut-wrenching anguish, disappointing setbacks, and never-ending twists and turns. It eventually ended with a phone call in January of 2011. It was a call that rearranged many lives. Klaus tells how his ninety-four-year-old mother was still alive and that he also had two sisters.

Blood Ties narrates the emotional story of one mans search for his roots and the heartwarming ending of finding a family he didnt know he had.
