AUBURN, WA, August 12, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- "In all of us there is a hunger, marrow deep, to know our heritage - to know who we are and where we came from. Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow yearning. No matter what our attainments in life, there is still a vacuum, an emptiness, and the most disquieting loneliness." -- Alex Haley, Roots.

Linda Holden Givens, a respected professional in Information Technology, tells in her new book released May 4, 2009 how her family of musicians and entertainers are as Holdens. The book targets interested individuals who know the family, others who uphold the family traditions along with anyone who has interest in genealogy.

Since 1992, the respected professional in Information Technology has been working on her family genealogy and seeking to learn about the past. Procrastination set in over the years until multiple books were published that mentioned her family in them. Finally, a decision was made to have the manuscript published. With the encouragement of her family, the manuscript became a project reflecting the uniqueness of the research and her family.
