Sometimes the wheel of life doesn't spin in your favor, and sometimes there's nothing you can do about it. Brian Lethando knows this firsthand. His mother left him when he was only two years old, and his father died shortly after of a heroin overdose. 20 years later, when the woman who took Brian in and raised him as her own son begins to suffer the effects of Alzheimer's, the two of them set out on one last road trip to discover the true meaning of the word family.

Moving in time from today's New Orleans and San Francisco to long-ago Amsterdam and the France of Louis XIV, from the coffee plantations of Port-au-Prince to Civil War New Orleans and back to today, Anne Rice has spun a mesmerizing tale.

F. Scott Fitzgerald makes antebellum Baltimore his setting for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, a fantastical tale with some Poe-like overtones about a baby born at age 70 who then lives life in reverse, his hair turning "in the dozen years of his life from white to iron-gray, the network of wrinkles on his face becoming less pronounced". What ramifications that creates for Benjamin's relationship with his father first and then later with his wife and his own son makes for some fantastical situations.

The book discusses an obscure topic you always kinda wondered about, but not enough to actually research. This is pretty much a red flag, cautionary tale for those considering using a sperm bank. Really eye-opening.

I love podcasts this was exceptionally well done.
The story may raise every hair on your head. It did mine.
So many things you'd never think people would have to think about.
I feel bad for the mothers who feel they failed. They did nothing wrong.
A sensational listen. Thank you, Audible.
This review is for all of them, I think a total of 8 episodes.
