Author Jennifer Wallig has unveiled a powerful new trailer for her deeply personal memoir, Finding Max: A Story of Family Secrets, Locked Doors, and a Journey to Uncover the Truth, now available for viewing on YouTube. The trailer captures the emotional intensity of Wallig’s decades-long journey to uncover her father’s hidden past, marked by adoption, trauma, and the long road to uncovering the truth about her family.
Wallig’s story begins with a revelation during her teenage years: her father was adopted. This moment flipped her understanding of her identity upside down and sparked a lifelong quest for answers. Finding Max follows Jennifer as she traces her father’s origins through sealed records, legal obstacles, and difficult family conversations—chronicling not just the search itself, but the emotional toll and triumphs along the way. The memoir paints a rich portrait of a man who struggled with PTSD and addiction, and the daughter determined to bring his story into the light.
Critically praised for its emotional depth and honesty, Finding Max has been described by Literary Titan as “a deeply personal story of resilience, family, and the pursuit of truth… Wallig’s writing feels like sitting down with a friend who’s recounting an incredible story.” The review highlights the memoir’s unique blend of heartfelt narrative and practical insights into genealogical research, making it a must-read for ancestry enthusiasts and seekers of personal truth alike.

“After a couple of deaths in the family, only a few months apart, I felt dread and urgency to tell the story of Finding Max,” Wallig shared. “I realized time may not be my friend, and I’d better do this while it’s fresh and raw.”
