About the Book
What We Inherit is the true story of how, in the wake of her mother’s death, Jessica Pearce Rotondi uncovered boxes of letters, declassified CIA reports, and newspaper clippings that brought to light a family ghost: Her Uncle Jack, who disappeared during the CIA-led “Secret War” in Laos in 1972. The letters lead her across Southeast Asia in search of the truth that has eluded her family for decades. What she discovers takes her closer to the mother she lost and the mysteries of a secret war that changed the rules of engagement forever.
