Is Traci About to Expose the Abbotts After May 28 Young and Restless?
Traci came back to The Young and the Restless on May 28 and she assured her brother that she was dealing with her Martin-caused trauma by writing all about it in her new novel. Traci admitted it was hard, since she was sharing such personal details, but she assured her family it would be worth it. Jack predicted another Traci Abbott best-seller. But will he be equally as enthused once Traci's book blows up his world?
Traci (Beth Maitland) thinks she's writing fiction. But everybody knows all fiction has to come at least partially from the writer's own experiences. Especially since Traci has already said this book will be based on her drama with Martin (Christopher Cousins). But in order for Traci to create a 'fictional' character who would fall prey to such a scheme, she has to ask herself, 'What made this woman so desperate for love that she'd be willing to accept it from anyone? Even a man who was unhinged and criminal? How could she not see the warning signs? Is it because she didn't want to?' And when Traci goes digging there, what might she turn up?

Traci, as the youngest Abbott, lost her mother at the earliest age. Sure, John (Jerry Douglas) tried to step up. But he had his hands fool with Jack (Peter Bergman), his only son and heir, who spent his teens and twenties being the player about town. Jack left John a lot of messes to clean up. Meanwhile, there was Traci's older sister, Ashley (Eileen Davidson). She was brilliant – a chemist at the family company. She was popular and self-assured and gorgeous. John called Ashley 'my beauty.' And he called Traci… Traci. That's going to leave scars.

What if, in writing her 'fiction,' Traci ends up accidentally exposing Abbott family secrets? She can insist she made it all up. But the reading public will have their suspicions. So will her siblings. Will this book that's supposed to promote healing, end up tearing Traci and her family apart?

The Bold and the Beautiful preview week of June 9: Luna takes aim
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Luna has a plan and she's going to get what she wants. Here's The Bold and the Beautiful preview for the week of June 9. More soaps coverage The Young and the Restless spoilers week of June 9-13General Hospital spoilers week of June 9-13Days of Our Lives spoilers week of June 9-13Beyond the Gates spoilers week of June 9-13The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers week of June 9-13 It was an eventful week as Luna (Lisa Yamada) made her plans clear and they all revolve around getting Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) out of her life for good. In Luna's twisted mind, killing Steffy will pave the way for a relationship with Finn (Tanner Novlan) and that's all that matters. Of course, Luna is going to continue to be a threat, especially now that she's teaming up with someone from her past. Here's the look-ahead preview of what's coming up this week: It's not surprising to learn that Liam (Scott Clifton) is more concerned about Steffy's safety than his own, as we see him taking pills that could signal he's doing the treatment that could prolong his life. If he's decided to move forward with the treatment, we have to wonder if Luna threatening Steffy played a role in the decision. Luna, in the meantime, tells her mother that she's "going to make the most" of her freedom and no one, not even Poppy (Romy Park) can stop her. Naturally, this leads Poppy to turn to Li (Naomi Matsuda) and Finn, telling them that she's afraid Luna "is becoming unhinged" and that's the understatement of the year. Not only is Luna "unhinged," she also has a gun. We see her at a gun range practicing her technique when an old friend pops in. It's Remy (Christian Weissman), who is also there for some target practice despite being a criminal and probably not legally being able to shoot a firearm like Luna, but hey, who's counting. Needless to say, things are about to get crazy as Luna's quest to eliminate Steffy heats up. The Bold and the Beautiful airs weekdays on CBS and the following day on Paramount Plus.

James Patterson says latest release may be 'the most important book I've done by far'
James Patterson doesn't need any more money. He's the first to admit it. "I really don't," he says. "That's not why I wrote this book." The new book in question from the prolific gagillion-selling author of thrillers (OK, for the record, it's 319 books written and 450 million copies sold worldwide) is in fact not only a labor of love, but also a love letter to fellow fathers. "The #1 Dad Book: Be the Best Dad You Can Be – In 1 Hour!," out May 12 ($25, Little, Brown and Company), sounds a bit like it got its title from a late night infomercial. But there is some truth in that bold advertising. The slim volume actually can be read in about 60 minutes (that's what the "1 Hour" in the title refers to) and features short chapters with titles such as "Be Consistent, Consistently," a litany of dad-experience quotes from friends ("Sometimes you have to let them sink to learn how to swim"), and a breezy voice that eschews hectoring for cajoling ("You've probably figured out that not everyone is in love with the sound of your voice," Patterson writes. "But guess what? Your baby is.") For Patterson, proud father with wife Susan to son, Jack, 27, the book was a way to help guys who "just don't know how to talk about such things with other guys, but they need someone to talk to and I just figured I'd offer some advice, that's all." The Essentials: James Patterson spills his writing must-haves The author's own father might have benefited from this book, Patterson says. "The only time I got a hug from my father was on his death bed," Patterson tells USA TODAY. "That was just the era. He grew up in a poor house, he didn't have a father, didn't know how to be a father. He was a good guy in his own way, but you talk about distance. Anyway, that's still an issue for some dads today; dads who can't say I love you and don't hug." "The #1 Dad Book" tackles hugs, of course. In the chapter "You're Not A Hugger? You Will Be in a Minute," Patterson relates the short story of visiting a friend with two hulking football player sons. When the kids started to head out the door, their father called them back saying, "Where do you think you two are going?" And he gave them hugs. "And that's when that routine became a part of my life, and Jack's, because every night he got a hug," says Patterson, smiling. "Jack's a good kid, he calls us every day." Likely many fathers and fathers-to-be will recognize some familiar themes in the book. A few that Patterson highlights include being truly present (don't talk to your kid while you, or they, are half-looking at a phone) and growing up. Fast. In the chapter called "Tattoo This Behind Your Eyeballs," Patterson is blunt with dads. "We're pals now, right? So you can take it when I give you some bad news," he writes. "It's time to grow ... No more BASE jumping, no more treks to Burning Man, no more swimming with sharks," no more beer league softball tournaments or all-day golf outings (this from Patterson, an avid golfer). "It's just hugely important, because you're taking on a big new responsibility and you have to step up," Patterson says. "And hopefully you're cool with it." Patterson also encourages men to seek out male friends who are willing to talk about dad issues, instead of "just what's going on with the local sports team." He notes that these days, "it's often women that are the primary bread winners, and some guys are just lost as a result, they don't know what their role is, and sometimes there's a lot of anger which is not useful for anyone." So is there any advice he's doling out in "The #1 Dad Book" that he wishes he'd gotten years ago upon entering his first fatherhood years? Patterson mulls a bit. Turns out, for him it was paying closer attention to Jack. "I was always home and around for him, but I could have been more present," he says, noting that while he was writing at home he often was lost in his projects. "I was there, but I wasn't ... I could have done more trips I didn't want to do, like going to the Galapagos, things like that. I'm not big on it, but Jack, he would have liked that." With this book, which Patterson says cryptically he "won't make money on, they way I've structured it," he's hoping that perhaps wives and daughters will pick one up for "husbands and fathers and maybe those two knuckle-headed brothers." Patterson leans back in his office chair. "This honestly could be the most important book I've done by far," he says. "It doesn't matter if someone reads an Alex Cross book. I mean, of course it's nice, but you know." Then almost as a challenge to dads everywhere, he adds: "It's one hour, dude. One hour ... you can't improve your golf game in an hour but here, maybe you can learn a few things in that short amount of time that will make you a little bit better father, or partner. And that's a good thing." This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: 'The #1 Dad Book' is James Patterson's salute and challenge to fathers
