After her mother died, Johnisha Matthews Levi was sorting through boxes of ordinary family artifacts. There among the Polaroids, diplomas, and property deeds, she found a piece of paper that forever changed how she saw her family's story.

Levi is an author and a former litigation attorney. While she was in law school, she helped represent death row inmates pursuing appeals and indigent defendants accused of murder. After finding that life-changing document in her mother's things, Levi channeled her defense investigation and mitigation experience as she investigated her own family history.

Now she's written a beautiful memoir about that quest to understand her talented and troubled father and the societal forces that forged him. Number's Up: Cracking the Code of an American Family came out in June. Listen in to hear more about how Levi researched and wrote it, and what it was like to dig into deep family secrets.
