Shares the words of five-year-old Jack as he struggled to understand the death of his sister Libby, a child born with a rare disorder.

Detective Kate Morgan is stumped, trying to decide when a case is really a case and when it belongs on her desk or someone else’s. She’s homicide and this? … This is something else, right?

As usual, he has few answers, and the ones he does find make no sense.

"I'm getting a life's lesson about grace from my mother in the ICU. We never stop learning from our mothers, do we?" UNFORGETTABLE is a son's spirited, affecting, and inspiring tribute to his remarkable mother and the love between parent and child. When NPR's Scott Simon began tweeting from his mother's hospital room in July 2013, he didn't know that his missives would soon spread well beyond his 1.2 million Twitter followers. Squeezing the magnitude of his final days with her into 140-character updates, Simon's evocative and moving meditations spread virally. Over the course of a few days, Simon chronicled his mother's death and reminisced about her life, revealing her humor and strength, and celebrating familial love. UNFORGETTABLE, expands on those famous tweets to create a memoir that is rich, deeply affecting, heart-wrenching, and exhilarating. His mother was a glamorous woman of the Mad Men–era; she worked in nightclubs, modeled, dated mobsters and movie stars, and was a brave single parent to young Scott Simon. Spending their last days together in a hospital ICU, mother and son reflect on their lifetime's worth of memories, recounting stories laced with humor and exemplifying resilience. UNFORGETTABLE is not only one man's rich and moving tribute to his mother's colorful life and graceful death, it is also a powerful portrayal of the universal bond between mother and child.

A command starting with 'Simon Says' means that the players in the game must obey that command but this isn't a game.

Some cases stay with you longer than others. This is one of them for Detective Kate Morgan. That poor child was the worst part. Plus it’s one thing to desecrate a church, but it’s quite another to commit murder in one—particularly in this manner. Confused, but knowing she must understand the psychology of this killer before she can understand where his next killing ground will take place, Kate buries herself in the case. Simon is trying to be there to support Kate, but his own world shifts when he’s asked to step in to analyze issues in a poker buddy’s company, only to have the guy commit suicide soon afterward. Or did he? Between his buddy’s issues and the horrific nightmares Simon’s dealing with—surrounding Kate and her latest investigation—Simon’s life is slowing unravelling too. Finding the killer is paramount. … Finding him before he annihilates another family? Well, that’s a much harder job. Kate has no choice. … She must stop him before he kills yet again …

Detective Kate Morgan isn’t impressed with her latest case. A terrorized woman walks into the police station, with a message for Kate. Actually a message that drags Simon into the middle of it—no, make that front and center. A challenge has been issued, one that Kate is determined to solve, hopefully keeping Simon on the sidelines. Blindsided, Simon doesn’t understand the message or the hate being directed his way. And the last thing he wants to do is revisit his past. Yet being in the middle of one of Kate’s cases doesn’t give him an option. If he can’t get to the bottom of this, his life will be, once again, torn apart—all to appease a madman’s new game. But the answer, … when it comes, is closer to home than anyone realizes.

The game of SIMON SAYS illustrates the contrast between the clear teachings of the Word of God and the empty philosophy of this world: "The Christian Life is a lot like that game of 'Simon Says.' Each believer will always be challenged by two commands. One command comes from the world and the other command comes from God. The believer must discern which is which and should always decide to obey the command from God." Although SIMON SAYS is not a biography of Simon Peter, it reflects the significant difference between the empty purposes of Simon and the dedicated perspective of the man who became Peter-the rock. Although SIMON SAYS is not a commentary on I and II Peter, it endeavors to show that Peter learned his lessons so well that he presents over 100 commands in his two short epistles. Dr. Drake has chosen 14 of those commands to present principles that Peter gives to God's legal aliens of every age.
