Book Description
The basic premise of this book is that most, if not all, of what we have been taught to believe is true, is not true or only half true. We blindly assume that what our mothers taught us about lying, paternity, religion, incest, nudity, pornography, and other subjects was right. This book states that a closer look at what was taught will reveal that "Your Mama Was Wrong". It says that lying is not always wrong. Sometimes it can be dangerous to tell the truth. When the slaves were being hhid by the "underground railroad", people lied in order to protect them. This book points out the fact that there are males, females and people who are neither male nor female. It also says that all religions are basically hearsay because they are founded upon what someone "said" was "said". All the sacred books were written by someone - usually male, who lived hundreds or thousands of years ago. The chapter on paternity shows how DNA testing can prove that "Your Mama Was Wrong" about who she said your father was. This chapter will prove to be very disturbing to many. There never has been a book written that challenges so many of society's views of right and wrong, true and false, fact and fiction.

"Nicolo Caruso?" I spat, unable to mask the disgust on my face as I sat on the edge of my bed. "I don't even know him at all." My mama's eyes met mine with unwavering determination. "Yes, my dear, you might never hear much about him or hear about him because he's blind, and his parents took him out of the spotlight. He's the eldest of Caruso's sons." The revelation hit me like a slap across the face. I leaped to my feet, rage coursing through my veins. "What? Am I a joke? Why must I get married to a joke? A blind Caruso?" My voice rose with each word until I was practically shouting. "Never! Over my dead body, mama, I would rather bleed to death than becoming Mrs. Caruso, not even just Mrs. Caruso but a wife to a blind bat!" ********* For Gisella Molinero, her world crumbled further when she discovered the ultimate betrayal - my boyfriend had been cheating on me with my best friend, the very woman she had always considered a sister. This arranged marriage to a blind Italian business tycoon seemed like a prison sentence orchestrated by her family. At first, she maintained her distance, building walls between herself and her nominal husband. But his constant love and unwavering respect began to work their magic, slowly unsealing her reluctant heart, teaching her that sometimes the clearest vision comes not from the eyes, but from the heart.
