Daddy, where are you? She cried, Daddy, Where Are You? Trapped in a
maze, trying to escape the feelings of a hurting girl's bondage, a
daughter constantly hits roadblocks. Her pain negatively impacts
her identity and relationships. Could she be lost because of a
father that left her alone? Maybe he didn't notice her stuck in a
corner or understand her need for guidance. Either way, there is no
cry like that of a daughter who is lost because her father is
missing In a non-fiction portrayal of the search for her father's
love, Dr. Anntwanique Edwards candidly expresses how her quest
could not be satisfied by man. She openly describes her
disappointment with her biological and heavenly fathers for not
attending to her needs. Her Life experiences are divulged to reveal
the purpose of pain. This phenomenal speaker puts her words on a
paper to establish God's ability to release women from the
catastrophic danger of dancing with versions of love created by
this world. Hear her words, declare the affirmations she shares at
the end of each chapter, and experience freedom as never before.
With heart-wrenching honesty, Donald's Story chronicles the last
days and years of one family's drama through the hell which is
Alzheimer's dementia. This story will make you cry, make you laugh,
and make you think. It's a must read for anyone who will ever get
old - particularly for anyone who may one day be a caregiver, an AD
patient, or a supportive family member of the same. The suffering
wreaked from terminal dementia is a saga which is becoming all too
familiar. As the 6th leading cause of death in the U.S.,
Alzheimer's and related dementing illnesses are epidemic. How do
you survive this disease which robs you of your very self? How do
you survive watching someone you love slip away? Complete with "AD
Survival Tips," Donald's Story is not just a memoir. It is also a
planning tool and a survival guide for dementia families, providing
a roadmap through the tangled darkness. Still, despite the subject
matter, this memoir is not wholly dark. How could it be when it is
first and foremost a love story? Loving deeply and forever may
render us vulnerable to pain, but therein lies the meaning of life.
When all is said and done, Donald's Story is most purely a reminder
of just how precious life is.

A heart-warming, fresh and original story about family and
friendship from brand-new picture book author, writer and performer
Jordan Stephens. Sunny loves jigsaw puzzles - the bigger the
better. When she completes one, she gets a warm, happy honeybee
buzz. One day, her Gran gives her a ONE-THOUSAND-PIECE puzzle.
Piece after piece, all by herself, she puts together the picture,
until ... DISASTER! The final piece is missing. Sunny may be small,
but she is very determined - so she sets off to find it. As the day
whizzes by in a whirl of new places and friends, Sunny discovers
that looking for something is every bit as fun as finding it, and
that perhaps the missing piece was there all along ...
Strong Sons: The Tunnel Journey will simplify the process for young
men becoming the strong sons that God intends them to be, as well
as redeem those who have fallen short of God's purpose for
salvation. The foundation of this book is scripturally based and
will shape our young men for a better future. Since Adam, our
society has progressively become more liberated and disapproving of
sanctified living. The few who choose to take a stand for God are
labeled as "weird" or "odd" and it is even more challenging if you
are a young man who has abstained from sexual gratification until
marital bonds are sewed. Regrettably, virginity has taken on a
whole different interpretation yet paradoxically, it is a man's
greatest gift to his wife. God expects chastity so when young men
become change agents for their peers, for society, and for God, it
is pleasing. Ultimately, young men driven by purpose and moral
passion will optimize their social and spiritual goals but they
will also subdue the unseemly impulses that have come to dominate
the human psyche. Finding purpose and associating with like-minded
persons, will be powerful factors in reinforcing desirable conduct
and negating the risk of unhealthy living standards. The role of
men in society is huge. Not only are they the backbone of society
or breadwinners, but they are leaders who must lead with conviction
and purpose. They must stand when no one else will. What defines
you? What are you known as? If you asked your friend or a church
member to describe your character what would they say? Would you
walk away feeling melancholic or gleeful? No logical person would
deny that character counts and how we are perceived through other
people's eyes are important. That's all good and fine but the real
question one must ask is "What does God think of me?"
Deep down inside, each of us knows what our truths are.
It is forgivable to lose them...
it is unforgivable not to reclaim them...
"Mountain Air: Relapsing And Finding The Way Back One Breath At A
Time" is a brutally honest personal narrative detailing a painful
decent into relapse and a powerful journey back to recovering.
Without condemnation but with passion and purpose, Mountain Air
...
Embraces individuals who have abandoned their authentic ways of
being for a life of personal neglect, indulgence, or
self-destruction. Speaks to individuals who have betrayed their
healing tenets - the addict who has lost his sobriety, the abused
who has returned to her abuser, or the codependent who continues to
rescue the uncontrollable. Reaches out to individuals who have
maintained a life of stability and wellness, but who are eroding
over time - and losing their sense of self and of spirit.
Mountain Air is for any individual who has experienced relapse and
who is fighting to find his way back... By inviting readers to take
a journey with the author as she shares time-tested lessons in the
recovering process. By providing thoughtful and accountable
exercises with each chapter that guide the reader in the reclaiming
and sustaining of their truths.
Praise for Kenley's "Mountain Air"
..".a personal memoir out of which she extracts principles that
can be generalized to all who are in recovery, inspiring them to
take courage. This poetic and nature-infused account should become
a standard for all therapists and all in the process of
recovery."
--David Van Nuys, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of Psychology, Host of
Shrink Rap Radio
"With Holli's inspiring personal journey from relapse to recovery
and her challenging questions in each chapter, the reader can
examine self-defeating behaviors and beliefs that block the natural
ability to walk through change, pain, and difficult times."
--Melissa Yarbray, M.A., Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed
Advanced Alcohol & Drug Counselor

Fresh Eggs is a memoir of childhood experiences in a vibrant small
town in western Maryland. This locale provided a carefree
playground for the youthful adventures of Alice Lorraine Faith.
This book recounts a journey back in time when life was
uncomplicated and lighthearted. The narrative describes the modest
lifestyle and humble home of her unpretentious youth. With her
brothers and favorite cousin, Alice shared an active childhood and
filled days of every season with self-generated amusement and
exploration. She engages readers in a personal exploration of
self-actualization and fulfillment. She discovers new insights
about the people and events around her, and she develops a deeper
understanding and appreciation of her parents. The story is a
cathartic process as she recounts joyful times and confronted
poignant relationships during a formative period of life. These
family experiences, especially relationships with her emotionally
distant father, have a profound impact on shaping the woman that
she becomes in adulthood. Alice becomes motivated to give back to
her community and to leave an enduring personal legacy.
his is a wonderful true story about one family's life as they
grew up and grew old. It was filled with love, laughter, trials,
and the challenges that life gives.
The biggest challenge came when she found herself with both
parents in various stages of dementia. At times she felt helpless,
but also knew that it was up to her to attempt to fulfill their
needs, wants and desires.
Time moved on and her father passed away, leaving her with her
mom to care for. What would she do? What did she do? Most
important, what will you do?
