Drawing on a deep well of studies in brain science, sociology, psychology, law, and medicine, Marjorie Ingall explains why a good apology is hard to find…and why it doesn't have to be. Alongside a six (and a half!)-step formula for apologizing beautifully, Sorry, Sorry, Sorry delves into research on why good apologies are psychologically difficult; why corporations, celebrities, and governments seldom apologize well; how to teach children to apologize; how to respond to a bad apology; how gender, race, and power affect apologies and forgiveness; and most of all, why good apologies are essential, powerful, and restorative.

The women both use sewing as a means to communicate with their loved ones and others during this difficult period. The couples’ lives ultimately converge as they all try to survive the war.

Count to a Thousand tells the story of an American expatriate who constructs a purposefully insular life in Israel similar to the one she'd expected to live back in the United States. This “bubble” holds up beautifully until it's time to send her eldest child to the army.
