Episode Details

Original tape date: September 30, 2025. First aired: November 11, 2025.

In her riveting best seller, “A Flower Traveled in My Blood,” Haley Cohen Gilliland tells a moving story of Argentina in the 1970s under the rule of an authoritarian military junta where masked agents sprang from unmarked cars to snatch purported enemies of the state off the street, murder them and systematically steal their children whom they separated from their families and, in many cases, gave up for adoption. She tells Jim about grandmothers’ search for lost children and how much of the tale resonates with what is happening in our country today.
