Book Description
Best friends, first loves, and memorable adventures are just a few of the unforgettable things in life that stay with you forever. Wayne Danka remembers them fondly in this heartwarming and often funny collection of five short stories celebrating a time when friends, family, and having fun were the most important things. Wayne and the guys he grew up with found themselves mixing it up with neighborhood street gangs, professional gamblers, and even mafia gangsters, all for the love of excitement. It was part of the culture growing up on the streets of New Jersey, a culture of manufacturing mischief, disregarding the probable odds, and simply being unafraid to take life as it comes. From the author of What Do You Want to Do, Break Your Mother’s Heart! comes another opportunity for readers to once again take a step back in time. Just Wait Till Your Father Gets Home! is a genuine testimonial to the magical love between a father and his two sons, the impact loyal friendships have in developing character, and the reverence of an era that will never again be duplicated.

Fatherhood
Author: William McInnes
Publisher: Hachette Australia
ISBN: 0733635555
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 151
Book Description
William McInnes, one of Australia's best-known storytellers and actors, has turned to a subject that is close to his heart. Fatherhood is about family, about memories of his father and the memories he's creating as a dad himself, with his own son and daughter. Warm, witty and nostalgic, these tales are just like a friendly chat over the back fence, or the banter of a backyard BBQ. They will stir your own memories: of hot summer days and cooling off under the sprinkler while Dad works in the garden with the radio tuned to the sports results; that time Dad tried to teach you to drive - and then got out of the car and kissed the ground; or taking your own kids on a family road trip. Fatherhood is full of memories: the happy, the hilarious, the sad, bad, and the unexpectedly poignant moments. You will laugh, you may even cry - but you will recognise yourself and those you love somewhere in these pages.

Talk Me from the Ledge

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 115
Book Description
Most of us have met a survivor of abuse at some point in our lives. Whether they were a stranger, neighbor, co-worker, or even someone we love, we are everywhere. We hide our fading bruises from the world, and often times even defend our attackers' actions. It's not that we are weak and the question "why don't they just leave" can only be answered by the individual victim. The answers are usually very complicated and personal. My secret world of abuse was harsh, lonely and humiliating. I was afraid of the ramifications connected to "telling all." Would I be believed? Will it even matter to anyone if they knew? I would have been severely punished by the abuser I exposed. That was my greatest fear. Six months after the sudden death of my mother I broke the silence of my past. In the late hours of another sleepless night the dynamics of abuse in the 1950's and 1960's is recalled and chronicled. With pen in hand, coffee cup at my side, memories and tears poured on to paper. By dawn the door was opened. Few were allowed to enter my childhood home. We wanted no witnesses. I was a good liar, and could hide the truth from everyone. Not anymore. I believe the courage to tell these stories came from a love that resonates even after death. With that love and a desire to offer a glimpse into the life of a survivor, I am opening the door to my childhood and inviting you to come into my secret world and be my witness.
