My fugitive dad made me get a nose job

Margo Perin has spent years unravelling her mysterious childhood and her family's secrets

As a child Margo Perin remembers strangers in the living room and having a new surname and address every few years.

It wouldn't be until she was much older that she would come to understand her family's secrets, including why her father forced her to change her appearance.
