In nineteen eighty a wealthy business name, a businessman named
Carl Fletcher is kidnapped from his driveway and the nicest
part of the nicest part of Long Island. He is brutalized,
(01:13):
held for ransom, and then returned to his family miraculously.
I'm going to call him Fletch. This is how we
would call him, miraculously Fletch. His wife and three kids
are left to move on with their lives and resume
their prized places and the ongoing saga of the American Dream.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Or Her Her Her Okay, yeah, so what happens to
this character? Forty years later? My mother dies. The trauma
that's been bubbling beneath the Fletcher's lives all this time
surfaces at last, and it becomes quite apparent that Flitch
has been quietly pursuing closure for the kidnapping all these
years later.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Oh my gosh, so I thought that was the book.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Fleischman is in Trouble is an amazing book slash TV
series for people who are sort of entering their forties
because it's about how.

they were in their forty they're like, this isn't I'm
not the same and that isn't the same person.

Be able to just open things up and change the
structure of a relationship.

people were already divorced. It was just I felt like
it was perfectly targeted.
