Book Description
Parenting can only be described as an endless adventure, but in reality it is so much more. Whether you are raising young toddlers, teenagers, or those on the brink of adulting, parenting can be terrifying, overwhelming, and yes, even exhausting at times. Every stage of their growth and development becomes a new journey. Each time we think we have it figured out; they grow up a little more. We are left feeling unprepared, lost, and out of date, like a stubby armed tyrannosaurus rex trapped in a world filled with push-button-start cars and touch-screen cell phones. As strange as it sounds, this is actually one of the best parts of being a parent! We don't really know what we are getting into and there are no all-inclusive instruction manuals available to download on Audible.com and listen to in our cars on the way to work. While nobody gets a gold medal for it, being a good parent will be one of our greatest accomplishments as we someday quietly reflect on the ultimate meaning of our short lives. Join Jay as he takes you back through the years on a journey filled with wonder, humor and insight, maybe even to those places in your own childhood that have been long forgotten. "Grandpa's Angry Chickens is a wonderful and enjoyable resource for parents and grandparents of all ages. Jay does a masterful job of helping us recall those distant days with our parents and grandparents when the world was an endless open book just waiting to be written in the ink of imagination, skinned knees, tree climbing, and sometimes a little mischief. Jay then helps us recognize the lessons hidden inside those moments that enable us to enrich the lives of our kids and grandkids. I highly recommend this touching and emotional book to parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and special friends." Stephen D. Williford Author

The Devil Takes You Home
Author: Gabino Iglesias
Publisher: Mulholland Books
ISBN: 0316426814
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
This genre-defying, Shirley Jackson and Bram Stoker award-winning thriller follows a father desperate to salvage what's left of his family—even if it means a descent into violence. Buried in debt due to his young daughter’s illness, his marriage at the brink, Mario reluctantly takes a job as a hitman, surprising himself with his proclivity for violence. After tragedy destroys the life he knew, Mario agrees to one final job: hijack a cartel’s cash shipment before it reaches Mexico. Along with an old friend and a cartel-insider named Juanca, Mario sets off on the near-suicidal mission, which will leave him with either a cool $200,000 or a bullet in the skull. But the path to reward or ruin is never as straight as it seems. As the three complicated men travel through the endless landscape of Texas, across the border and back, their hidden motivations are laid bare alongside nightmarish encounters that defy explanation. One thing is certain: even if Mario makes it out alive, he won’t return the same. The Devil Takes You Home is a panoramic odyssey for fans of S.A. Cosby’s southern noir, Blacktop Wasteland, by way of the boundary-defying storytelling of Stephen Graham Jones and Silvia Moreno-Garcia. NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY: NPR, Harper's Bazaar, Chicago Tribune, Vulture, Oprah Daily, CrimeReads, The Millions, and many more! An Edgar Award Finalist • A Bram Stoker Award Winner • A Shirley Jackson Award Winner • A Book of the Month Club Pick • An August Indie Next List Selection • An ABA Indie Bestseller

Fractured
Author: Sandra Windsor
Publisher: Abbott Press
ISBN: 1458223051
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
“It’s just a move,” her father said. Her mother shrugged. Sarah cried. Fourteen and her dream country club life shattered. It’s not just a move, it’s a move to a farm with fields and animals and miles of dusty roads between farmhouses. She isn’t even part of a town. Neither is her mother. These two lives move in parallel as each negotiates change within the confines of the 1950s Midwest mores. A perfect family: executive father, trophy wife, two daughters until this move rips the scabs off the marriage and fractures the family structure. “Readers will be swept away by FRACTURED, a timeless coming-of-age novel with an unforgettable heroine. Set in the 1950s, the novel evokes a more innocent time, but Sandra Windsor has a few plot twists up her sleeve that show the darkness hiding behind even the most perfect-seeming family. Windsor is a masterful storyteller with remarkable insight into the human condition. This novel is full of heart.”
