The Swapped Lives — 30 Episodes Free

The report was one page. Blood type A, both parents O, and a note in the margin from a doctor who had retired. Ella did not confront her mother with it. She drove to the county hospital and stood outside a ward until a nurse asked who she was looking for. What she found was a girl with her father's hands and her own birthday, and a hospital record that had been corrected in ink. Ella Warren had a trust fund, a wedding date and a blood type that did not add up. Her parents are both O. She is A. The family doctor called it a laboratory error; her mother called it a mistake and closed the file. Then a routine marrow donation for her younger brother came back with a match that belonged to somebody else entirely — a girl in a county hospital, raised on a factory wage, who had been born in the same private clinic on the same night. Thirty episodes about a family that kept a file closed for twenty-six years and the two daughters it cost.
