This month in book club, Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and I dive into How to Solve Your Own Murder by Kristen Perrin, a bestselling mystery that blends small-town intrigue, family secrets, and a decades-spanning murder investigation.The story begins in 1965 when teenage Frances Adams receives a chilling prediction from a fortune teller: one day she will be murdered. Determined to uncover the truth, Frances spends her life investigating both her foretold death and the mysterious disappearance of her friend Emily Sparrow. Decades later, Frances is found murdered, and her great-niece Annie Adams inherits not only her estate but also the responsibility of solving the crime.As Annie follows a trail of journals, hidden clues, and long-buried secrets, she uncovers shocking revelations about her family, the town of Castle Knoll, and the complicated relationships that have shaped generations. What begins as a classic whodunit evolves into a story about obsession, envy, fate, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves about our lives.We discuss the novel's dual timelines, memorable cast of characters, red herrings, twists, and whether Frances' fate was truly written in the stars—or created by her own lifelong pursuit of the truth.We also share what we've been reading outside of book club lately.Upcoming Book Club Picks: Fight Club: A Novel - Chuck Palahniuk (June 2026) La Belle Sauvage (Book 1 of The Book of Dust) - Philip Pullman (July 2026) TBD (August 2026) Nervous Conditions - Tsitsi Dangarembga (September 2026) TBD (October 2026) Maus: A Survivor's Tale - Art Spiegelman (November 2026)

Fluent Fiction - Mandarin Chinese: Secrets of the Great Wall: A Family's Hidden Legacy Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/zh/episode/2026-05-30-07-38-19-zh Story Transcript:Zh: 春天的某个清晨，阳光洒在长城上，层层叠叠的砖石在花草之间若隐若现。En: One spring morning, sunlight spilled over the Changcheng (Great Wall), with layers of bricks and stones appearing intermittently among the flowers and grass.Zh: 小雨和简走在这条历史悠久的长道上，心中充满期待和紧张。En: Xiaoyu and Jian walked on this ancient path, filled with anticipation and nervousness.Zh: 微风带来花香，却掩不住小雨内心的焦虑。En: The breeze carried the scent of flowers but couldn't conceal Xiaoyu's inner anxiety.Zh: 她一直相信，在这些古老的墙壁之中，藏着一份可以揭开家族秘密的卷轴。En: She always believed that hidden within these ancient walls was a scroll that could unlock a family secret.Zh: 简则显得有些怀疑。En: Jian seemed somewhat skeptical.Zh: 他一直认为家族的传说可能只是老祖宗编的故事。En: He had always thought that the family's legend might just be a story made up by their ancestors.Zh: 但他知道，小雨决心已定，便仍然陪在她身边，一路上为她打气。En: But he knew that Xiaoyu had made up her mind, so he stayed by her side, cheering her on throughout the journey.Zh: “这段长城的故事，你知道吗？”小雨突然问道。En: "Do you know the story of this part of the Changcheng?" Xiaoyu suddenly asked.Zh: “听说这里曾有很多战士驻守，还有一些未解的秘密。”简回答。En: "I heard there were many soldiers stationed here, and some unsolved secrets," Jian replied.Zh: 他们走到了一段人迹罕至的长城，传说这里的不稳定使人望而却步。En: They reached a seldom-visited section of the Changcheng, reputed to be unstable and daunting.Zh: 墙上的砖石有些已经脱落，绿色的藤蔓在石缝间肆意生长，犹如一片天然屏障。En: Some bricks had fallen from the wall, while green vines grew wildly in the crevices, like a natural barrier.Zh: 小雨停下脚步，凝视着一座看似岌岌可危的哨塔。En: Xiaoyu stopped, staring at a seemingly precarious watchtower.Zh: “就是这里。”她指着那座塔，口气坚定。En: "It's here," she said firmly, pointing at the tower.Zh: 简递给她一个鼓励的微笑，心中却隐隐有些不安。En: Jian gave her an encouraging smile, but inside, he felt a slight unease.Zh: 他对自己说，无论如何都要确保小雨的安全。En: He told himself that no matter what, he must ensure Xiaoyu's safety.Zh: 他们小心翼翼地走进哨塔内部，灰暗的空间中充满着历史的沉淀。En: They cautiously entered the interior of the watchtower, where the dim space was steeped in historical sediments.Zh: 墙上的刻画吸引了小雨的注意，她用手轻抚这些不知道存在了多少年的图案。En: The carvings on the wall caught Xiaoyu's attention; she gently touched the patterns that might have been there for countless years.Zh: 突然，一个松动的砖块掉落，露出了一条狭窄的通道。En: Suddenly, a loose brick fell, revealing a narrow passage.Zh: “看！我们找到了！”小雨的眼中闪烁着光芒。En: "Look! We've found it!" Xiaoyu's eyes sparkled with excitement.Zh: 简似乎感受到了一份无法解释的激动，他们顺着通道来到了一个古老的密室。En: Jian seemed to feel an inexplicable thrill as they followed the passage into an ancient secret chamber.Zh: 密室中的气氛让他们心跳加速，墙上的刻画依然模糊不清，隐隐透露着一些重要信息。En: The atmosphere within the chamber made their hearts race; the wall carvings were still blurred, faintly hinting at important information.Zh: 就在此时，哨塔开始微微晃动。En: At that moment, the watchtower began to tremble slightly.Zh: 简拉着小雨往外跑，“快！这里快塌了！”En: Jian grabbed Xiaoyu and ran outside, "Quick! It's about to collapse!"Zh: 他们冲出哨塔瞬间，身后的石块轰然倒下，尘土弥漫。En: Just as they rushed out of the tower, stones behind them fell with a crash, filling the air with dust.Zh: 在落地的一刻，他们手中紧紧握着从墙上撕下的一部分刻画。En: As they landed, they held tightly onto a piece of the carving they had torn from the wall.Zh: “我们虽然没找到卷轴，但至少知道了它的方向。”小雨看着手中的片段，轻声说道。En: "Although we didn't find the scroll, at least we know the direction," Xiaoyu softly said, looking at the fragment in her hand.Zh: 简点头，他的眼中再也没有了疑虑。En: Jian nodded, his eyes cleared of doubt.Zh: “或许，家族传说比我想的更真实。”En: "Perhaps, the family legend is more real than I thought."Zh: 经过这次冒险，小雨和简之间的信任更加坚固。En: After this adventure, the trust between Xiaoyu and Jian grew stronger.Zh: 春风再次吹过，带来新的希望。En: The spring breeze blew once again, bringing new hope.Zh: 尽管任务未能如愿以偿，但他们并没有灰心。En: Although their mission was not fulfilled, they did not lose heart.Zh: 相反，他们对未来的探索充满信心，继续携手前行，揭开属于家族的秘密。En: On the contrary, they were full of confidence in their future explorations, continuing hand in hand to uncover their family's secrets.

The Blumenthals are one of millions of Eastern European Jewish families who immigrated to the United States at the end of the nineteenth century. Settling in Providence, Rhode Island, they grow and prosper. During Prohibition, the Blumenthals become bootleggers—starting their fraught history with alcohol and crime. Once Prohibition is repealed, Barney Blumenthal opens a liquor store in Boston. Life is good—until fate intervenes.In May 1935, a drunk driver took the lives of six Blumenthals, including three children. Horrific photos run in newspapers across the country. Six months later, Ronnie Blumenthal is born: a phoenix rising from the ashes of devastation, a golden child upon whose blond head the family's hopes and dreams are placed. He grows into a handsome and spoiled teenager, driving a fast convertible and surrounded by beautiful girls. The Blumenthal legacy is resurrected—until one July night in 1954, when he is arrested for murder.The victim is his mother's seamstress, who was allegedly having an affair with his father. Newspaper and TV coverage is relentless. Ronnie pleads guilty, yet dark questions remain unanswered. Upon Ronnie's release from prison, his drunken behavior causes the family—who faithfully visited him behind bars—to finally wash their hands of him. At the end of his life, not one family member will contribute to his funeral. The once golden child is buried in a pauper's grave, etching the Blumenthal curse in stone.A decade later, New York Times bestselling author Phyllis Karas, a Blumenthal cousin, uses her well-honed instincts as a journalist to peel back layers of long-hidden family secrets. Karas sensitively chronicles the generational trauma affecting Phillip and Rose Blumenthal's six children and their children—the fifteen Blumenthal cousins—who were left to build their lives in the fallout. The Blumenthals' story proves that, by learning from the past with care and love, curses can be broken.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

In this episode, Sarah shares the moment she opened that letter, the Ancestry.com match that led her to her half-sister Pam, and the surreal experience of meeting a sibling she never knew existed.

Jessica grew up believing she knew the story of her biological father, a high school boyfriend of her mother's who had struggled with addiction and left the picture before Jessica was born. Raised from infancy by the man who became her stepfather in every meaningful sense, Jessica nonetheless carried lifelong questions about her origins, and as an adult pursued a painful, ultimately disappointing relationship with the man she believed had given her half her DNA. Then, decades later, a routine consumer DNA test upended everything: the man she had spent years trying to know was not her biological father at all, and her real biological father was someone else entirely. In this episode, Jessica shares how that discovery forced her to reconsider her identity, her family's history, and the narratives she had been handed since childhood, and how she navigated the twists, the rejections, and the revelations with a remarkable amount of compassion and grace for everyone involved.

Montes De Oca translated from Spanish means "mountains of Oca or bird similar to a goose" -from an area in the Basque region of Spain in the north central mountains, and that is where Carlyn's family originally emigrated from. Carlyn is a first generation Mexican American who was raised in California. It wasn't until she took a DNA test in her 50's, just to see what her more specific lineage was, that she found out some shocking news. There was a discrepancy in one of the results that caught Carlyn's eye, but being busy, she let it go. She had noticed that all of her siblings seemed to be very quiet and distant once she started asking questions. Had she spent more time on fully reading the results, she would have seen that there was a woman's name listed as a potential relative. "Ancestry DNA doesn't lie" is what Carlyn was told by this stranger's husband. Carlyn's mother and father made a life changing decision based on love and compassion . They didn't hesitate or dwell on the possible difficult road ahead. They did what they felt was the right thing to do. a sister and two brothers that live nearby plus 2 other siblings in  Mexico  that were a lot older. As teens, Carlyn's older siblings suddenly had an adopted baby sister and were told by their parents, not to tell anyone, including their baby sister that she was adopted for fear of someone trying to take her away.  You will never tell her she's adopted because if you do, there are  people out there that may try and hurt her. " Children born out of wedlock where not looked at fondly and Carlyn's parents didn't want that stigma to follow her. When I asked my guest how she's been handling all this upheaval, she says "it's a paradox. Life works in mysterious ways and it gives you the information that you need at exactly at the right time. The first year was really  hard and this is tough stuff."  Her parents  were both strong people and they raised their children to be tough. "It's hard to have the rug pulled out from under you and to loose your identity in the snap of the fingers." I guess you never know what you'll find in your results  when you do a DNA test. It especially is difficult when you get conflicting results as an adult vs a baby or child. Carlyn mentioned LDA or Late Discovery Adoptees. I've attached the link if you'd like further information.        https://www.latediscoveryadoptees.com/ It's been a journey for Carlyn since she got this startling news of being adopted. In the subsequent years, she's done a lot of soul searching and research. She's interviewed many people and family members, found her biological mother and adopted her dog, Grace. November  2022, Carlyn released her most recent book "Junkyard Girl: a Memoir of Ancestry, Family Secrets and Second Chances."  Mary was known for being  very over protective of her daughter and it in fact it caused a lot of contention between the two ladies. She loved her daughter and felt that because she was adopted, she needed to keep an eye on her for her safety. The only regret that Carlyn really has is that her siblings didn't tell her the truth before her parents passed away. Carlyn's older sister thought she was protecting her adopted sibling, just as Carlyn's mother, Mary, thought being over protective would serve her well.

Retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Program Chief Robin Dreeke sits down with Amy Duggar King for a comprehensive examination of three generations of the Duggar family — from the alleged violence and predation of patriarch Jimmy Lee Duggar through the religious authoritarian system Jim Bob built under IBLP to the criminal charges now facing Joseph and Kendra Duggar.Amy is Jim Bob Duggar's niece, the author of Holy Disruptor, and one of the only family members willing to speak publicly about what she says has been suppressed for decades. Robin Dreeke brings his expertise in behavioral analysis, institutional deception, and coercive control to examine every layer of what Amy describes.The conversation spans the generational blueprint Amy says created the Duggar family's pattern of silence and control. It examines the ecosystem of information suppression she says operates inside the family — how disclosures are managed, who enforces loyalty, and what happens to those who speak. And it culminates in a direct address to Kendra Duggar, the twenty-seven-year-old mother of four who faces criminal charges alongside her husband and whose family of origin exists entirely apart from the Duggar and IBLP systems.Joseph Duggar is out on $600,000 bond on a charge of lewd and lascivious behavior on a child under twelve, according to the Bay County Sheriff's Office arrest affidavit. Both he and Kendra face charges in Arkansas. Josh Duggar is serving a twelve-and-a-half-year federal sentence.Robin Dreeke and Amy Duggar King deliver one of the most comprehensive behavioral and personal examinations of the Duggar family system ever recorded.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Transcript:Da: Forårssolen skinnede gennem de store, høje vinduer i Nationalmuseet i Danmark.En: The spring sun shone through the large, tall windows at the Nationalmuseet i Danmark.Da: Freja og Nikolaj stod i det store udstillingsrum og så på de mange historiske skatte, der lå bag glas.En: Freja and Nikolaj stood in the vast exhibition hall, gazing at the many historical treasures lying behind glass.Da: "Freja, det her er skørt," sagde Nikolaj lavmælt.En: "Freja, this is crazy," whispered Nikolaj.Da: "Hvorfor tror du, at der skulle være en hemmelighed gemt her?"En: "Why do you think there's a secret hidden here?"Da: Freja kiggede spændt rundt.En: Freja looked around excitedly.Da: "Det er vores bedstefar, der fortalte om det."En: "It's our grandfather who told us about it."Da: Hun talte ivrigt, mens hendes øjne strålede af nysgerrighed.En: She spoke eagerly, her eyes shining with curiosity.Da: "Han sagde altid, at en særlig artefakt bærer vores families historie."En: "He always said a special artifact holds our family's history."Da: Nikolaj trak på skuldrene.En: Nikolaj shrugged.Da: Hans skepsis var tydelig, men han var her for at støtte sin søster.En: His skepticism was clear, but he was there to support his sister.Da: "Og vi skal finde det midt i alle disse sikkerhedsforanstaltninger?"En: "And we're supposed to find it amidst all these security measures?"Da: Freja smilede.En: Freja smiled.Da: "Jeg har en plan," sagde hun stille, mens hendes øjne glimtede.En: "I have a plan," she said quietly, her eyes sparkling.Da: De to søskende stod lidt tættere sammen, mens Freja forklarede planen.En: The two siblings stood a bit closer as Freja explained the plan.Da: Deres mål, en mystisk genstand, var en del af en speciel udstilling med restriktioner.En: Their goal, a mysterious object, was part of a special exhibition with restrictions.Da: "Jeg skaber en distraktion, så du kan komme tættere på den," sagde Freja.En: "I'll create a distraction so you can get closer to it," said Freja.Da: Nikolaj var stadig ikke overbevist, men han nikkede.En: Nikolaj was still unconvinced, but he nodded.Da: "Okay, men vi skal være forsigtige."En: "Okay, but we have to be careful."Da: Freja gik over til en anden del af udstillingen og begyndte at tale højlydt om en af de store stenstatuer.En: Freja moved to another part of the exhibit and began to speak loudly about one of the large stone statues.Da: Hendes mål var at tiltrække vagternes opmærksomhed.En: Her goal was to attract the guards' attention.Da: Besøgende vendte deres hoveder mod hendes pludselig høje stemme, mens Nikolaj sneg sig tættere på det afspærrede område.En: Visitors turned their heads toward her suddenly loud voice, while Nikolaj sneaked closer to the restricted area.Da: Han nåede næsten hen til glasskabet, men en uventet lyd af en skrigende alarm fik alles hjerter til at springe et slag over.En: He was almost at the glass case when an unexpected sound of a blaring alarm made everyone's hearts skip a beat.Da: Nikolaj frøs midt i sin bevægelse, og Freja tabte pusten.En: Nikolaj froze in his movement, and Freja lost her breath.Da: Museumsbesøgende og personale begyndte at samle sig omkring dem.En: Museum visitors and staff began to gather around them.Da: En vagter kom hurtigt til stedet.En: A guard quickly arrived at the scene.Da: "Hvad foregår her?"En: "What's going on here?"Da: spurgte han strengt.En: he asked sternly.Da: Freja tog en dyb indånding og trådte frem.En: Freja took a deep breath and stepped forward.Da: "Vi undskylder," sagde hun ærligt, men fast.En: "We apologize," she said honestly but firmly.Da: "Vi leder efter noget om vores familiehistorie.En: "We're looking for something about our family history.Da: Det var dumt af os, men det er vigtigt."En: It was foolish of us, but it's important."Da: Curatoren, en ældre kvinde med venlige øjne, nærmede sig og så undersøgende på dem.En: The curator, an elderly woman with kind eyes, approached and looked at them inquisitively.Da: "Fortæl mig mere," sagde hun blidt.En: "Tell me more," she said gently.Da: Efter at have hørt deres historie, besluttede curatoren at lade dem undersøge genstanden under opsyn.En: After hearing their story, the curator decided to let them examine the artifact under supervision.Da: Hun førte dem hen til glasskabene og åbnede nøje låsen.En: She led them to the glass cases and carefully unlocked one.Da: Der, inde i den glitrende glaskabine, lå en gammel medaillon med en indskrift, der bekræftede deres familielink.En: There, inside the sparkling glass cabin, lay an old medallion with an inscription that confirmed their family link.Da: Freja smilede med lettelse og taknemmelighed.En: Freja smiled with relief and gratitude.Da: "Tak," sagde hun til curatoren.En: "Thank you," she said to the curator.Da: Nikolaj kiggede på sin søster med en nyfunden respekt.En: Nikolaj looked at his sister with newfound respect.Da: "Vi gjorde det," sagde han.En: "We did it," he said.Da: Freja nikkede.En: Freja nodded.Da: "Jeg har lært, at nogle gange skal man bøje reglerne – men også at tage et skridt ad gangen sammen."En: "I've learned that sometimes you have to bend the rules—but also to take one step at a time together."Da: Da de forlod museet den dag, vidste begge, at deres families fortællinger nu havde fået mere betydning.En: As they left the museum that day, both knew their family's stories had gained more significance.Da: Det var en påmindelse om, at nogle hemmeligheder kun kunne opdages sammen.En: It was a reminder that some secrets could only be discovered together.

The public record tells part of the story. Josh Duggar's federal conviction for possessing child abuse material. Joseph Duggar's arrest on a charge of lewd and lascivious behavior on a child under twelve. Kendra Duggar's charges in Arkansas. But Amy Duggar King says the public record is the fraction that couldn't be contained — not the full picture.Amy is Jim Bob Duggar's niece. She spent her childhood close enough to this family to see the machinery up close — how information was managed, who controlled what got out, and what happened to anyone who broke ranks. In her memoir Holy Disruptor, she described Jim Bob as someone who manages information the way other people manage money: controlling who knows what, when they know it, and how much they're allowed to see.Now Amy sits down with retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Program Chief Robin Dreeke to examine the suppression system she says has operated inside this family and within the broader IBLP community for decades. Without naming anyone who hasn't been charged, Amy describes the playbook — what happens when a family discovers abuse, who they're told to go to first, and who they're warned never to contact.She addresses her own TikTok where she said she'd almost take bets that Jim Bob called a family meeting the moment Joseph was arrested — and explains what closing ranks actually looks like from the inside. Robin Dreeke applies his behavioral expertise to analyze the patterns Amy describes and explains how systems of institutional silence sustain themselves.This isn't speculation. This is a woman who lived inside the machine telling you how it works.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

I'm so unbelievably thrilled that Rita Wilson chose How to Fail for her FIRST EVER podcast appearance. The acclaimed actor, singer and producer was born in Los Angeles to a Greek mother and a Bulgarian father who emigrated to the United States in 1949. You might know her from early roles like Bosom Buddies, where she met her future husband Tom Hanks, and from standout turns in films including Runaway Bride, It's Complicated and her unforgettable scene-stealing in Sleepless in Seattle. Behind the camera, she helped bring My Big Fat Greek Wedding and Mamma Mia! to the big screen. Alongside her film career, Wilson has built a powerful musical voice, releasing albums since 2012 and collaborating with artists like Elvis Costello and Willie Nelson. She now returns to her solo work with her sixth album, Sound Of A Woman, released on 1st May. In this episode, we talk about growing up in a traditional, private family but later living in the public eye, bringing My Big Fat Greek Wedding to the screen, her friendships with Nora Ephron and Bruce Springsteen - and how her experience of breast cancer reshaped her life and friendships. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 02:39 Sleepless In Seattle Scene Secrets 04:32 Finding Her Voice 07:53 Labels and Late Blooming 13:07 Privacy to Speaking Out 14:56 Greek Wedding Breakthrough 17:43 Drama School Rejections 27:57 Proving Them Wrong 29:03 Onscreen Friendship Magic 31:03 What Friendship Means 32:12 Breast Cancer and Blame 35:07 Honoring Her Father 39:55 Family Secrets and Privacy 45:50 Building Family Values 47:20 Fired as Ticket Taker

What does that mean? Leah's words shook him.He: כשהם חזרו לשולחן, אורי הקטן, הבן של אורן, חסר מנוחה, התחיל את המרוץ לאפיקומן מוקדם מהמתוכנן.En: When they returned to the table, little Uri, Oren's son, restless, started the race for the afikoman earlier than planned.He: אורן חייך בחצי לב, אך מחשבותיו היו במקום אחר.En: Oren smiled half-heartedly, but his thoughts were elsewhere.He: כיצד הסוד הזה ישפיע על חגם?En: How would this secret affect their holiday?He: ביום הזה, המנהגים נמשכו: קיראו ההגדה, במקום שבו אורן בדרך כלל נזכר במצרים, הוא חשב על מורשתו, על המשפחתיות שלו.En: That day, the customs continued: reading the Haggadah, where Oren usually recalled Egypt, he thought about his heritage, about his family.He: אבל אתגר חדש צץ – איך לשלב את הידיעה בהמשכיות המסורתית?En: But a new challenge arose – how to integrate the knowledge into the traditional continuity?He: בערב, כאשר כל משפחתו ישבה מסביב לשולחן, אורן הרים כוס להשלים את החג.En: In the evening, when his entire family sat around the table, Oren raised a glass to complete the festival.He: "למרות סודות העבר," הוא אמר, חיוך רך על שפתיו, "המשפחה היא באחדותה.En: "Despite secrets of the past," he said, a soft smile on his lips, "the family is in its unity.He: אנחנו נולדים יחד לא רק במצוות אלא גם בתובנות".En: We are born together not only in commandments but in insights as well."He: ההכרה שלו פעלה כמו גשר.En: His recognition acted as a bridge.He: החום חזר לשולחן, דבק ואהבה זרמו.En: Warmth returned to the table, bonding and love flowed.He: הסוד הפך לא חלק מההפרדה, אלא מנוע ההתפתחות החדשה.En: The secret turned out not to be a part of the separation but a catalyst for new growth.He: בסיום הארוחה, השמיים נצנצו בכוכבים, והמשפחה התמלאה בתחושה חדשה של קירבה.En: At the end of the meal, the sky sparkled with stars, and the family was filled with a new sense of closeness.He: אורן הבין.En: Oren understood.He: להכיר את האמת לצד המסורת זה לא סותר.En: To know the truth alongside tradition is not contradictory.He: זה מחבר, מעצים.En: It connects and empowers.He: לסיום הערב, מחובקים, הם שרו יחד את שירי הפסח.En: To conclude the evening, embracing each other, they sang Passover songs together.He: המסורות התחזקו, השקט התחלף בצחוק, ואורן, מביט בבנו, ידע שיצר את הזיכרון של הדור הבא.En: The traditions grew stronger, the silence turned to laughter, and Oren, looking at his son, knew he had created a memory for the next generation.

Please, tell me what happened!”Hu: Júlia és Dénes csendben néztek egymásra.En: Júlia and Dénes looked at each other in silence.Hu: Végül Júlia törte meg a csendet.En: Finally, Júlia broke the silence.Hu: „Én voltam.En: “It was me.Hu: Csak egy kis tréfának indult.En: It started as a little prank.Hu: A medált elrejtettem, de aztán kiderült, hogy túl komolyra fordult a dolog.”En: I hid the medallion, but then things got too serious.”Hu: Bálint mély lélegzetet vett.En: Bálint took a deep breath.Hu: Nem lett volna könnyű ezt hallani, de mégis megkönnyebbült.En: It wasn't easy to hear, but he felt relieved.Hu: Közelebb lépett Júliához, és megszorította a karját.En: He stepped closer to Júlia and squeezed her arm.Hu: „Rendben van, mindannyian hibázunk.En: “It's okay, we all make mistakes.Hu: De legközelebb kérlek, beszéljünk a dolgokról.”En: But next time, please, let's talk about things.”Hu: A többiek is köréjük gyűltek, enyhült a légkör.En: The others gathered around them, the atmosphere softened.Hu: Bálint végre megértette, hogy nemcsak a felelősség számít, hanem az is, hogy a családját tisztelje és szeresse.En: Bálint finally understood that responsibility wasn't the only thing that mattered; it was also important to respect and love his family.Hu: Tudta, hogy most már erősebb és magabiztosabb, mert bízott magában és egyensúlyt talált a kötelezettségek és a személyes vágyak között.En: He knew he was now stronger and more confident because he trusted in himself and found a balance between obligations and personal desires.Hu: A családi ház, amely annyi történetet őrzött, most ismét megtelt vidámsággal és nevetéssel.En: The family house, which held so many stories, was once again filled with joy and laughter.Hu: A tavasz fénye áthatotta a szívüket, és ők újra összetartottak, erősebben, mint valaha.En: The light of spring permeated their hearts, and they were united again, stronger than ever.

Writer Cynthia Banham on discovering the shocking truth about her great-grandmother, reckoning with buried family secrets, and the criticisms mothers face from others and sometimes most harshly, from themselves.Cynthia Banham grew up hearing the story of her great-grandmother, Natalina, who had supposedly been orphaned in Italy in the 19th century.But when Cynthia became a mother herself she felt compelled to look for the real story of her maternal line, which suddenly stopped three generations back.What she found shocked her -- a period of time when infant relinquishment was so common, the era became known as the 'century of foundlings', and her great-grandmother was one of them.She had not been orphaned, as the family thought, but abandoned by a nameless mother.Cynthia took off to Bologna, Italy with her own young family in tow to find the truth. Along the way she uncovered the stories of 'bastardini' (a home for bastards), literate midwives, epigenetics and possible incest.Cynthia also stood in the house where Natalina was born, and came to terms with her own harsh judgement of herself as a mother.Mother Shadow is published by Upswell.Richard also spoke to Cynthia in 2023 about surviving the 2007 Garuda plane disaster in Indonesia.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris. Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores ancestry, epigenetics, anthropology, family history, writing, books, orphans, adoption, child abandonment, truth, journalism, parenting with a disability, mothers in wheelchairs, self confidence as a mother, self criticism as a mother, marriage, love, mothers and sons, school communities, Indonesia, Garuda Indonesia Flight 200, memoir, modern history, travel, family bonding, wild gardening.

This episode explores the devastating phenomenon of honor killings—a practice that turns family members into foes under the guise of tradition.
