Review Quotes: "Heartfelt and beautifully written, Secrets of the Sun is a tale of two quests--a father's to solve the mysteries of the universe and a daughter's to solve the mysteries of the father. One of the most compelling memoirs I've read in some time." --Jerald Walker, author of National Book Award finalist How to Make a Slave and Other Essays
