    Six weeks before her eighth birthday in May of 2024, my granddaughter Paige Schilling was diagnosed with a brain tumor. 
    Paige underwent a 14-hour brain surgery at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The tumor was successfully removed and Paige began a lengthy period of rehabilitation.  
    During this time, Paige received so many gifts from friends and family that her father considered renting a storage unit. Instead of giving her another stuffed toy, I decided to write letters to Paige. The letters describe real events from my own life beginning from a time before television existed. 
    The letters introduce Paige to members of her extended family, including aunts and uncles (my six brothers and sisters), her great-grandparents, and even her great-great-grandparents.  
    The episodes celebrate the adventure ride of just being a child in a large entertaining family.

    It is an explosive true story of survival, betrayal, and the moment America lost its grip on the Middle East. 
    On November 4, 1979, 52 Americans were taken hostage inside the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, an act that stunned the world and sparked a 444-day standoff that shattered U.S. diplomacy and changed global politics forever. 
    In this pulse-pounding narrative, acclaimed historian Davis Truman pulls back the curtain on the backroom deals, psychological torment, and international missteps that defined one of the longest hostage crises in modern history. Drawing from declassified documents, secret cables, and firsthand interviews, 444 Days brings to life the human drama at the heart of a geopolitical disaster. 
    When diplomacy fails, what remains: bluster, betrayal, or a better way forward?
