Alexie Linn
Alexie Linn was born and raised in the 'mild' Pacific Northwest -- where the snow drifts are never higher than the barn roofs. Her first year of married life was lived in Alaska, in a tent and a homesteader's cabin -- where she got closely acquainted with sourdough and beans. She escaped to the desert southwest, became a widow, and life then began. Alexie is a papered Life Coach, Nutritional Therapist, and Counselor with a vivid -- sometimes outrageous imagination. She's also a slave to Joan Freed, the rebel life coach who, somehow, manages to come out on top of her mysterious and chaotic adventures.

Chapter 1
Why Is Your Family History Key?
DO YOU REALIZE THAT only you and your full siblings share the identical family tree? And that you are still unique—even if you are a twin or an octuplet?
I have five siblings, but only one duplicates my exact family tree. And that’s where it ends because we do not have an identical DNA. The other four siblings have a different father so our pedigrees go off the rails from the get go.
Each of us, in fact, march to our own DNA drummer. Though we do have traits, characteristics, skills, and maladies that converge. All our DNAs match enough to tattle that we’re siblings. But
