Sara Faith Alterman was eight when she accidently discovered that her prudish dad was secretly a globally successful writer of adult books. Growing up, it was never discussed, but when he was dying of Alzheimer's in his late 60s, he asked Sara to help him write again before it was too late. Sara Faith Alterman’s memoir is called Lets Never Talk about this Again. Presented and Produced by Mariana Des Forges Picture: A young Sara and Ira Alterman Credit: Courtesy of Sara Faith Alterman
