Just took a DNA test – turns out I’m 100% not my dad’s biological daughter. In this deeply personal true story, Malia Moss unpacks a revelation that shattered the image she had come to associate herself with: a basic white fifth generation Texan. Now she grapples with the information uncovered by the DNA test, including being related to a holocaust survivor and a former Miss Universe contestant. Funny, devastating and deeply thought-provoking, this is a show that explores family secrets, identity and the miracle of human existence.
