The Control of Candy Jones
Summary
"Candy Jones" was the stage name of Jessica Wilcox (b. 1921) who became famous as a model and "pinup girl" in the early 1940s. Her story seems too bizarre to be true. One of America's most famous models, brainwashed by the CIA? Yes, it is another example of truth being stranger than fiction. The story begins with Candy's wedding to Long John Nebel, New York's most successful radio talk-show host. During the wedding, and regularly thereafter, Candy's personality would seem to shift. She would suddenly change from her affable, self-effacing self to a brusque, aggressive "stranger". For the first few months of the marriage, these shifts were infrequent enough that Nebel didn't worry much about it, but as time went on, they got worse. Nebel began trying to relax his wife by hypnotizing her. Although Candy insisted that she couldn't be hypnotized, she slipped easily into a relaxed state and then into a healthy, deep sleep. But during the third session, with no suggestion from Nebel, Candy spontaneously regressed to a young age. After that, Nebel began to record their sessions. The result of these sessions was that Nebel discovered his wife had been brainwashed into have a second identity, "Arlene", whom a CIA doctor had used to carry messages all over the world. Eventually, Candy was tortured at CIA headquarters, so that her doctor could display her "successful" programming. The Control of Candy Jones sent shockwaves through the corridors of power when it was first published in 1976. After reportedly being suppressed by the CIA, it became an instant classic and remains so today.

Daddy Day Care
Summary
2018 Award Winner - Best Parenting & Family - Pacific Book Review Ever wondered what would happen if mom went back to work and dad stayed home with the baby? The award-winning Daddy Day Care is an outrageously funny and honest account of what happens when one dad stays at home for six months to bring up his baby daughter. It shows what it’s like being the only bloke in playgroup and how to bluff your way through mom chat. How it’s ok to mix up Humpty Dumpty with some Prince and David Bowie, and how your sidekick provides a cheap alternative to the gym! Aimed at dads (and curious moms), Daddy Day Care offers a truly alternative look at the poo-soaked chaos of full-time childcare. Best served with beer - or strong coffee (for the chronically sleep-deprived parent).
