She is also one hell of a mother." —Akiva Goldsman! Rothenberg's son! and Academy Award winner! Best Adapted Screenplay! for A Beautiful Mind "Vivid and profoundly moving...I found myself looking at the ordinary children I know with renewed respect and wonder...The line of separation! this book teaches us! is very thin indeed." —Henry Mayer!
