A young boy in upstate New York grows up with questions he cannot yet ask. His mother is absent, his father is struggling to hold life together, and the pieces of his story never seem to fit. When his grandmother steps in, she becomes the steady place he never had offering safety, routine, and a chance to breathe again. Told through the voice and heart of a grandmother, this book follows a child who learns to smile after silence, trust after confusion, and stand tall even when part of his past is missing. It also follows a father doing his best, trying to give his son a life better than the one he knew. What's My Name and Who Am I? is a gentle look at family, loss, and the small moments that help a child find comfort and identity. It is a story built from love, honesty, and hope.
