David Tereshchuk, an experienced TV reporter, has traveled the world, facing war criminals and victims alike. With a long career, he mastered the art of uncovering secrets from oppressors and the oppressed. However, his own heritage remained a mystery, as his mother, Hilda, kept his father's identity hidden. It wasn't until his fifties, following many difficult discussions, that Hilda revealed through a fax that she was raped by a priest at 15 in the Scottish Borderlands. This led Tereshchuk on a challenging quest to discover the priest's identity, involving police, the Catholic Church, and DNA tests, which only uncovered distant cousins in Germany. Amidst ongoing investigations and dead ends, Tereshchuk questioned if the truth was linked to rumors of his mother's involvement with a German POW. His book, A Question of Paternity, delves into his search for his father and his own identity, alongside his journey overcoming poverty, illegitimacy, alcoholism, and professional insecurity despite interviewing global leaders and working for major networks.
