Nicole Georges grew up believing that her father was dead. That’s what her family told her, after all. But when she was in her 20s, a palm reader told Georges something different. Turns out, that palm reader was right. Based on the award-winning 2013 graphic memoir "Calling Dr. Laura," this six-episode podcast will take us through Georges’ search for her father, the stories she was told, and the rollercoaster of belief and identity she went through in the process. Because if family is a story we tell ourselves, what happens when those fictions break apart?

Brave, honest, painful, quirky, hilarious. My own family background is nothing like Nicole’s, yet there was so much I could relate to. Thank you for this gem.
Absolutely wild! I’m on the edge of my seat!

This is such an unreal sequence of events, and Nicole does a fantastic job of telling it in a way that is both heartbreaking and hilarious! I’ve already cried and laughed and I’m only 4 episodes in.
