Cathy grows up barely knowing anything about her father.
I 've never really had, like, a dad, so to know what that feeling is,
to actually miss, you ca n't miss something that you 've never had.
Sometimes she's bullied at school in Kenya.
Being mixed race, her skin is lighter, her hair is a different texture.
Her mum, Maggie, tells Cathy her dad was a soldier and had been deployed to Afghanistan.
You know, she's young to understand what could I have told her.
I just told her, I think he's dead.
But after searching Facebook late into the night,
Cathy learns the truth, well, part of it, and discovers her father is alive.
So I start scrolling and scrolling and then all of a sudden I see someone with the same name as me.
And he was a soldier in the British Army.
Cathy doesn't know it yet, but this marks the beginning of a nine-year quest to find her father.
A quest that will unite her with lawyers and DNA detectives across the world
and will reveal to her that she 's far from alone in her search.
I even had a dream one time that he came here.
I had that dream with my dad.
And in that dream he told me he loves me.
So growing up from this village, we were in school with some of these kids of mixed-dress heritage.
And of course they were pretty much ridiculed.
