In this lyrical and poignant book, Finding Immortality: The Making
of One American Family, award-winning writer Herbert Hadad records
the joys and sorrows of parenthood and, in so doing, opens a wide
window into family life that is intimate and unmistakably American.
The masterful prose of Finding Immortality conveys the true tale of
one family confronting and triumphing over real issues, from
infidelity and drink to mortality and racism. These universal
themes provide a treasury of lessons for parents and all other
admirers of fine writing to learn and enjoy. Here is what some
readers have had to say about Finding Immortality:
"An elegant writer and story teller, Hadad spins tales as
compelling as O'Henry's. These are vivid, often roguish, portraits
of the angst and pleasures of contemporary existence."
-Selwyn Raab, author and retired New York Times reporter
"Kid boxer and life-long journalist Herb Hadad has been around.
He's seen a lot. Part Jew, part Arab, and all American, he loves
his children, his wife, and his world. These stories will clear the
mind and warm the heart."
-Benjamin H. Cheever, novelist and journalist
"Herb Hadad distills with a great eye and a great ear what we
care about and presents it brilliantly, with wit and
understanding."
-Dr. Myles Striar, professor of education emeritus, Boston
University, writer, and translator
In this accessible and honest look at homeschooling, Lisa Rivero
explores the diverse faces of homeschooled students and the ways in
which it can help children with special learning needs. She

addresses the changing and complex needs of children today. This
book addresses the major questions parents are bound to have as
they consider this option: socialization, curriculum, special needs
arrangements, resources, and more.
The Price of Freedom, which is part one honorable Marine/Veteran's
memoir of a riveting wartime experience in Iraq and other part
political commentary, offers a clarion call to freedom loving
people in the world, in particular Americans, Iraqis and Nigerians.
With candor The Price of Freedom sheds light on the Superman myth
of the U.S. Marine, and why for some in the armed services it has
become awkward to open up and share battle scars. Kingsley Uzukwu,
has crafted a powerful cathartic work, which honors fallen soldiers
and promises to be balm for some loved ones, for others an unleash
of salty tears and yet for another an aha moment or even still a
battle cry. He offers an authentic voice, crying in the wilderness.
He speaks in plain terms of how Iraqi Freedom has impacted us all
to become "casualties," He paints with broad strokes the tender
lives of World Trade Center casualties, the uncensored lives of
Marines and delicate blossoms of friendship and love. He weaves an
unforgettable account, sometimes hauntingly eerie. He fittingly
portrays Marines as responsible leaders and salutes his Marine
comrades in penning The Price of Freedom. He showcases the full
complement/leadership skill set, including intelligence,
communication, technology, decision making and problem solving in
tactical environments, possessed by Marines. With surgical
precision he describes our troops and their rigorous training to
adhere to appropriate rule of engagement and escalation of force.
The author addresses moral and ethical dilemmas (e.g. What
difference, if any, exists between killing and murder in war?)
coupled with leadership beyond national boundaries, though he
points out a U.S. visa to be at a premium in Nigeria and highlights
the prize that full U.S. citizenship holds for others in the world.
