The basic question, we who are human need to ask is, "Where did I come from?" Beginning in the 1984, Peter Shatner's book "The Search - How I met my father William Shatner" is an epic that begins with the ordinary life of a man who's answer to that fundamental question, becomes an emotional roller coaster ride that threads the reader through the lives of the most famous and influential people of the time.

About the Author: Peter Shatner (born December 09, 1956) Given-up for adoption in 1956 by his Canadian born Actress mother, Katherine Burt (later Kathy McNeil) in New York hospital, Peter was adopted by Time/Life journalist, George Tilden Orick who eventually retired as the writer of ABC television's 20/20 and artist Barbara Lalone Byrne. Barbara Orick named their adopted son Peter Michael Orick. In 1962, Peter's adoptive parents divorced. George Orick moved to Lagos Nigeria. In 1964, Barbara Orick married John Colles Sloan, a widower who had two children with Ann Read Sloan, Polly Sloan and Russell Robinson Sloan, III. John Sloan adopted Peter Orick in 1965 and his name was changed to Peter Michael Sloan. In 1983, Peter reunited with his journalist father, George Orick, when he discovered George had written an article about his experience in Antarctica on an expedition with ABC news. In 1984, Peter was encouraged by George Orick to find his natural parents. After contacting the adoption agency Children's Aid Society, Peter was provided with enough identifying information to begin his search. After months of research, Peter traveled to Toronto, Canada, the birthplace of his birthmother and with the help of the office of then Prime Minister of Canada, Pierre Trudeau, along with numerous US and Canadian celebrities and the Lincoln Center and CBC archives; he was able to identify his birthmother Katherine Burt-McNeil. Later, through a process of research and verification Peter was able to identify his birthfather as Canadian born William Shatner. Peter Shatner also is the author of: "T.C. Therapeutic Community"; "MBA"; and "Going to Florida".
