The box under the bed

Joe thought he knew his dad until he found a cache of documents revealing lie after lie. His search for the truth leads him to a far happier discovery than he imagined.

Growing up Joe Jaquest Oteng knew very little about his Dad; they struggled to find much common ground. Joe’s Dad, Peter, was guarded about his early life in Ghana and the family he had left behind when he emigrated to the UK in the 1960s. When Peter died Joe was left to sort through his belongings. He discovered bundles of documents, letters and photos which revealed new and shocking information which didn’t match the life story Joe had been told.

Dr Sian Williams hears how Joe set out to find the truth about Peter and how along the way made some joyful discoveries for himself.
