It's been a while since I read this, but I think back on little details like nefarious dealings on Russian private jets, secret routes to Canada, and the city kid going back to the rural re-u surprisingly often.

jami reviewed The five love languages of children by Gary D. Chapman
Review of 'The five love languages of children' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
I find the "love languages" a good starting point for showing people in my life affection in the ways they most prefer.
However, this book gets out-of-control preachy at the end. A couple "talk to your pastors" I could ignore, but the "divorce will ruin your children" chapters seemed like a little much for 2021. I'm not even sensitive about that -- I have a happy marriage. But it's like when you Google something annoying about your spouse and the first three search results are "Don't you dare get divorced!" That's not what I asked, Focus on the Family web pages and this book!
