Have a nice guilt trip
\"Everyone's favorite mother-daughter writing duo is back with a new collection of warm and witty stories that will strike a chord with every woman. With twenty-something Francesca navigating New York City, Lisa holding down the fort in the suburbs, and Mother Mary making frequent and always entertaining appearances, there are plenty of opportunities for family-induced guilt, fighting, laughter, and love. As Lisa says, \"Bottom line, if you're a mom, you'll feel guilty all the time, and this is true because you're a daughter as well, and God only knows how many times you failed your poor mother.\" So come along for the ride as Lisa and Francesca continue on the road of life acquiring men and puppies...Ok, to be honest, Lisa is acquiring the puppies, while Francesca is lucky enough to have dates with actual men. They'll leave it to readers to decide which is more desirable and/or or easier to train.\"--Page 4 of cover.

There's a bad side to the 'Good War'
\"I wasn't aware of it either,\" said Scottoline, whose book has to do with a murder at the Ft. Missoula internment camp in Montana during WW II. \"Before my dad passed away from cancer about a year and a half ago, he showed me some documents about my grandparents. They were alien registration cards. I, of course, knew that Japanese- Americans had been interned. I hadn't known at all, until that day, that Italian-Americans were interned as well.\" Another 600,000 or more Italian-Americans like her immigrant grandparents--Giuseppe and Maria Scottoline--were made to register as enemy aliens. Some 52,000 of them were confined to \"exclusionary zones\" sometimes only a few blocks in radius where they were under a strict dusk-to-dawn curfew. \"It (internment) was upheld as constitutional over really vigorous dissents,\" said Scottoline. \"Three of them. But the presidential orders were upheld as a valid exercise of presidential powers. It's very fascinating, that intersection of armed conflict and civil liberties.\"
