"Finding clues sends her down a rabbit hole of biographies, old
pictures, ancestral records, letters, unpublished novels, court
documents, and desperate cross-country searches for living
descendants; each new piece is another layer to an increasingly
complex puzzle. A compelling personal and literary detective
story." -- Kirkus Reviews "Kirkus Reviews"
"McCabe's eloquent determination to investigate this mystery,
sleuthing online, contacting descendants, and entering archives
full of "carbon paper and ghosts," gives His Other Life a
historical and literary resonance that is charged with modern
energy." -- Meg Nola "Foreword Reviews"
