From the opening line of the book, \"When you're a kid, they don't always tell you the truth,\" the stage is set for this riveting coming-of-age story that plays out against the backdrop of the Korean War, the aftermath of the Holocaust, the polio epidemic, the relocation of a baseball team, and the shenanigans of politicians and businessmen. Hirshberg deftly weaves together events, characters, and clues and creates a rich tapestry of betrayal, persecution, death, loyalty, and unconditional love that resonates with today's America.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53361851105589,"sku":"fji1787285403930","price":17.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0946\/0059\/3717\/files\/my-mothers-son-by-david-hirshberg_1.jpg?v=1787285409","url":"https:\/\/chicpeakfashion.shop\/products\/my-mothers-son-by-david-hirshberg","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
