🧩 3 Sisters United

On today’s episode of Missing Pieces, we tell the story of June — raised in Canada by her grandparents, growing up with questions instead of answers.

As a teenager, she learns who her father is…
—or so she thinks.

What unfolds next connects three sisters, decades of silence, and the kind of truth that changes everything. This is one of those episodes that reminds you why this show exists.

🎙️ Missing Pieces explores the stories of people who’ve discovered—or are still searching for—their "missing pieces".

In this episode, Don talks with Amanda, who grew up in South Texas always wondering why she didn’t look like her other siblings. Years later, DNA gave her the answer—and with it, she found her missing pieces.
