Описание: "So much respect in these voices. And yearning. And generosity. And love." —David Bergen, author of The Time in Between and Stranger Finding Father is a collection of stories about Mennonite fathers by their daughters. Written by well-known and first-time writers, these stories illuminate the often close and sometimes troubling relationships that exist between one of humanitys most precious bonds. From battles over relationships and sexuality, to debates over chores and church, these stories also hold the shared intimacies of driving side by side with dad, laughing, and headed down the road. "These intricate, moving tales of daughters and their fathers offer essential story-telling and perceptive reflections on family, faith, and gender relations. They also become a kind of oral history—often lyrical, sometimes melancholy—of Mennonites in the last half century." —Jeff Gundy, author of Songs from an Empty Cage: Poetry, Mystery, Anabaptism, and Peace " Finding Father deftly assembles thirteen beautifully crafted reflections on fathers by their variously accomplished daughters. While each story is unique, the collection as a whole explores the powerful and complex effects on a daughter of being acknowledged, understood, encouraged, and loved by her father." —Kathleen Venema, author of Bird-Bent Grass: A Memoir, in Pieces "A rich collection of emotionally evocative, sensitive narratives exploring the often complicated primal relationship between a daughter and father." —Bruce L. Guenther, author of The altester "In stories encompassing history, gender and religion, daughters hold their fathers silences, sorrows and legacies." —Connie T. Braun, author of Silentium: And Other Reflections On Memory, Sorrow, Place, and the Sacred
Описание: Kyle Tackwell Ball`s light-hearted memoir about transforming an ancient church in Italy that once served as a way station for Crusaders and religious pilgrims into a livable space-unearthing skeletons in the backyard, encountering mysterious biting bugs, and hosting occasional visitations from a ghostly presence who smoked Marlboro Lights along the way.

Описание: Getting paid to watch sport from the best seats in the house and to chew the fat with sportsmen every day of the week cant be called a real job can it? Ron Reed has spent more than 50 years as one of Australias leading sports journalists. He has a fascination for the games people play and the people who play them. In particular, the Olympic Games became a passion. After attending his first Olympics in person in 1984, Ron decided to attend the Games one last time, in Tokyo 2020, to fulfil what had become a consuming private and personal interest. He had planned to visit the memorial to the victims and survivors of the atomic bombing of the southern city of Nagasaki, the catalyst for ending the Second World War. His father, Private William Cecil Reed, was a prisoner of war in Nagasaki and survived that horrific event when tens of thousands of others did not. War Games was to bookend the experiences of father and son in the country that held an unlikely connection for them. Despite the postponed Tokyo Olympics, the book still combines the remarkable war-time experiences of a soldier in World War II with the memorable events, people and sports that have formed the fabric of Rons working life. These stories are part of the vast sporting history of a sports-mad nation and while they reach well back into the past that doesnt mean they are no longer interesting -- some are utterly unforgettable.

Описание:
Some say family is everything. Some say family are just people we're assigned to at birth.
Trey Amana, a forty-something, hardworking father of two, discovered his dad's death five years ago on the day after Christmas. Although Trey has grieved and prioritized his health, holiday music and decorations trigger painful memories. To take the final step toward healing the loss while saving extra cash for his holiday-obsessed kids, Trey decides to close his late father's storage unit once and for all.
Trey discovers a journal written during his father's college years. His dad, Art, reveals an outrageous family secret driving Trey into a wormhole of suspicions. With family members en-route to Trey's home, Trey is burdened by the need for answers while somehow producing a hospitable Christmas.
Father & Sun explores how secrets and well-meaning motivations from the past can have a counteractive generational impact.
Father & Sun contemplates life in the shadows or life standing on the Sun (owning one's truth), speaking to the passing of the torch from father to son, what it means to be honorable, and the spiritual, emotional, and mental effect on heirs.

Описание: Imagine being sixty-five and having already lived a full life (school, family, career, travel, hobbies, and adventures). Retired and living the good life, on one seemingly ordinary day your entire world suddenly changes when you discover you have a thirty-four-year-old son whom you knew nothing about. That is what actually happened to me, and here is the true story. A young man, raised solely by a loving mother, spent thirty-four years wondering about his biological father but never expected to actually get answers to his questions. Then one day, through the marvels of DNA technology, he unexpectedly discovered the identity of his father. And he got to ask his questions, and he got them answered. In such a situation, what questions would you ask? This book details the exact questions that he did ask during our first week of discovery, along with my verbatim written responses to him. After that first week, we settled into a slower pace of discovery. Over time, I answered many more questions, using each question as an opportunity to tell him a bit more about my life-who I am and what I have experienced. I hope you find it all as amazing and fascinating as we did.
The relationship between a young girl and her father is one that impacts her entire life. When fathers consciously encourage and protect their daughters, strong women will flourish. Unfortunately, not every father-daughter relationship follows this path, and many of us are left with wounds that take many years and a lot of self-work to heal. Three fathers and eight daughters have come together to illuminate the importance of this early bond, offer hope for women and men who are healing this relationship, and show what is possible when a conscious father lays a foundation that allows his girls to shine. Immerse yourself in these empowering stories and discover your own pathway to healing and peace.

Описание: ‘I was written out of the family story. This book is my attempt to write myself, and my mother, back into it.’In this singular memoir, historian and biographer Jim Davidson writes about his fraught relationship with his authoritarian and controlling father, whose South African background and time in Papua New Guinea and Fiji prompted his own post-war mini-empire of dominance. A manipulative and emotionally ferocious man, he rejects his son and creates a second family, shutting Jim out and eventually disinheriting him, but never really leaving him alone.Traversing territory across Australia, South Africa, India and London, this beautifully written book tells of a time of crushing conformity, sharply reminding us that some experiences can never be written out of our personal histories.Sales PointsLiterary memoirs of men uncovering the dynamics of their families are popular – e.g. Richard Glover, Tim Elliott in AustraliaIncreased interest in queer memoir, i.e. experiences of people coming out as gay or queer, especially in contexts where acceptance or understanding is limitedJim Davidson writes with a historian’s eye for the personal impact of grand historical forces, and the undercurrents of how powerfully relationships can shape livesReleased for Father’s Day in Australia – an antidote to ads for biographies of sporting heroes
Описание: President Abraham Lincoln is known as the Great Emancipator, the Savior of the Union, and an American martyr to the people who read about him. But that was not how his sons knew him. Presidential historian Alan Manning invites readers to see not the thoughtful, burdened president delivering the Gettysburg Address to a war-torn nation, but a man quietly reading bedtime stories to his sleepy-eyed sons; and not the resolute commander-in-chief seeking out winning generals and forming war policy, but a man wrestling with his own grown son's desire to join the army and go off to war. A combination of history, biography, and family culture, this book follows Lincoln from his growing law practice in Springfield through the turbulent war years in the White House, highlighting the same challenges that many fathers face today: balancing a successful career with paternal responsibilities--a perspective largely ignored by previous Lincoln biographers, thus helping to complete the portrait of one of the most popular, significant, and complex figures in American history.
Описание: "I want to marry somebody just like . . ." Surprise! The relationship that matters most to your daughter isn`t the one with her mother---it`s the one with you, Dad.
