"From the outside, everyone might think Fern and Rose are as close as twin sisters can be: Rose is the responsible one, with a home and a husband and a fierce desire to become a mother. Fern is the quirky one, the free spirit, the librarian who avoids social interaction and whom the world might just describe as truly odd. But the sisters are devoted to one another and Rose has always been Fern's protector from the time they were small. Fern needed protecting because their mother was a true sociopath who hid her true nature from the world, and only Rose could see it. Fern always saw the good in everyone. Years ago, Fern did something very, very bad. And Rose has never told a soul. When Fern decides to help her sister achieve her heart's desire of having a baby, Rose realizes with growing horror that Fern might make choices that can only have a terrible outcome. What Rose doesn't realize is that Fern is growing more and more aware of the secrets Rose, herself, is keeping. And that their mother might have the last word after all."--Publisher's description.

Unser Weltbild besteht zu etwa 10 Prozent aus Fakten, die unsere Sinne wahrnehmen, zu 90 Prozent jedoch aus Bildern, die wir im Kopf entwickeln. Mit dem jüngsten Wissen der Naturwissenschaften erklärt Martin Urban, warum diese ›Bilder im Kopf‹ oft stärker sind als die Wirklichkeit ist, wir also Vorurteile haben. Was einst eine notwendige Voraussetzung für das Entstehen und Überleben des modernen Menschen war, der sich als Homo sapiens sapiens versteht, bildet heute einen Boden für radikale Positionen und stellt eine ernsthafte Gefahr für unseren gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt dar. Urbans Ziel ist, die Zusammenhänge unter den Gegebenheiten unserer Zeit – in ihren historischen Entwicklungen und Fehlentwicklungen – darzustellen und zu erklären. Mit dem Auftreten von Donald Trump beginnt das Thema besonders aktuell zu werden. Mittlerweile bilden Corona-Verschwörungsgläubige, Impfgegner/innen, Querdenker/innen, religiöse Fundamentalisten, Reichsbürger und immer wieder neue Gruppen Netzwerke, um mittels Vorurteile das Nachdenken zu ersetzen. Der Autor nutzt die jüngsten Erkenntnisse der Wissenschaften wider ihre Verächter von den Fake-News-Fronten. Das Ergebnis ist ein Votum für die Aufklärung, für eine moralische Verpflichtung, nach den Fakten zu fragen, wissen zu wollen.
