A mother is told her newborn has died, and she goes home to grieve. The baby is alive – and has just been sold. In 2021, two young women in the country of Georgia learned they were twin sisters, separated at birth and raised apart. Their mother had been told both of her daughters died in the hospital. They hadn't. They had been taken and sold, and the paperwork was forged so she would never go looking. Weird Darkness podcast host Darren Marlar started with that one case and kept finding it – in a dozen countries, across nearly a hundred years.

This book is funny and serious at the same time. The conversation between mom and daughter is very raw. They talk about heavy topics in a very lighthearted manner. This book serves as a centerpiece on the kitchen table. Parents and teenagers will appreciate the candid language that cuts across all generations and cultural groups.

Recalling his growing-up years in Los Angeles following World War II, author James Pratt describes 12 lessons he learned from observing his father, an unpretentious and uneducated man who acquired little of this world's wealth but who lived an honorable life. "For some, these 12 virtues may seem antiquated, out of date, or hopelessly provincial," writes Pratt. "I don't see it that way. What my father practiced and conveyed to me were principles that made it possible for children to grow up in a stable, two-parent home, where there was a widely accepted code of decency, honesty, honor, and patriotism."
