Born into a large Lebanese family in New Zealand in 1946, Fred George is the founder of George Publishing Company and author of the amazing but true autobiographical account, Switched at Birth: My Life in Someone Else’s World. George grew up on the south island of Dunedin in a large Lebanese family. He remembers always feeling out of place with the family that raised him, but he has now found a home in Pembroke, MA where he lives with his wife, Paula.
His story has appeared on the front page of the Boston, MA area newspaper of record, The Patriot Ledger, has made the rounds on Fox News, and been heard on numerous radio stations across the country. The day before the last election, George even received a call from the senior writer of People, wanting to know of his unbelievable but true-life story. “My story can help people with DNA issues,” he says.
