A Story of Secrets and Siblinghood

By Tracey Maniskas, ED.M.

At the age of 42, via a commercial DNA test, Tracey and her two sisters, with whom she was raised as triplets, faced a stunning revelation: At least one sister had a biological father different from the dad who had raised them. From 3 to 13… A Story of Secrets and Siblinghood covers the year following this genetic discovery as the sisters seek to determine if they are truly full siblings, confirm the identity of their unknown biological father, and navigate their unexpected new reality, all while connecting with additional family members they never knew they had.

Tracey Maniskas earned her master’s degree in counseling psychology at Temple University. Having chosen her career path in eighth grade, she spent fifteen years focused on children’s public mental health before sustaining a life-changing brain injury at the age of 37. Following several years focused on recovery, Tracey opened a stress management practice where she combined her cognitive behavioral therapy background with her yoga teacher training to work with clients on personal awareness and relaxation techniques. Today, Tracey splits her time between suburban Philadelphia, Scottsdale, and Big Sky, Montana with her husband, Rich, and their dog, Sophie.
