A heartbreaking and moving story about a daughter's quest to discover the truth about her father's hidden past.
Ada Sibelius is raised by David, a single father and head of a computer science lab in Boston. Homeschooled, she accompanies her loving father - brilliant, eccentric, socially inept - to work every day. By 12 she is a painfully shy prodigy.
At the same time that the lab begins to gain acclaim, David's mind begins to falter, and his mysterious past comes into question. When her father moves into a nursing home, Ada is taken in by one of David's colleagues. She embarks on a mission to uncover her father's secrets: a process that carries her from childhood to adulthood. Eventually Ada pioneers a type of software that enables her to make contact with her past and to reconcile the man she thought she knew with the truth.
Praised for her ability to create quirky and unforgettable characters, Liz Moore has written a piercing story of a daughter's quest to restore the legacy of the father she desperately loves.

Moore's Character Depth is Impressive

This book is similar in that the character development is excellent. However, I didn't feel any of the emotional engagement that I expected based on my experience with Heft. Perhaps that is part of the point based on some of the relational limitations of some of the primary characters? I enjoyed the book very much and I thought it was extremely well written, but it left me feeling a little flat...
The themes and ideas around technology and relating are very intriguing and handled beautifully.
The narration is excellent.

This book brings up all of the pain that a person can go through and the beauty of the love that can come from that pain.
This is not an easy book to listen to, as it challenges it's reader to grow as a human being. If you can get through this book though, it will feel like it changed your life for the better.
An amazing journey through tears and trauma.
