Book Description
Everyone’s bringing baggage to this baby shower… Carmen James is nowhere near finished picking up the pieces after her divorce, and the last thing she needs is a positive pregnancy test. The fact that she doesn’t know for sure who the father is doesn’t help matters, but on the bright side, there’s only two candidates: Donovan, her best friend… or Isaac, his longtime boyfriend. Carmen’s struggling with an impossible-to-please family in between getting back on her feet. Donovan has his hands full with a teenager, plus a strained relationship with his own father, whose approval Donovan desperately craves. Isaac’s questioning his sexuality, not to mention wondering if he can handle a newborn at forty. And to top it off, they won’t know who the father actually is until the baby’s born, which has both men questioning how the outcome will affect their longstanding relationship. Oh, and there’s that minor detail about the undeniable three-way attraction that got them all into bed in the first place. Since they’re all quite compatible in the bedroom, and Carmen’s already pregnant, a casual sexual relationship seems like a good idea in the beginning. When emotions get involved, though, they could drive Carmen, Donovan, and Isaac apart when they need each other the most. Get ready for three people in one hell of a pickle (anyone have any ice cream?), parents who suck at parenthood, parents-to-be who think they’ll suck at parenthood, a relationship-friendship-sexual-kind-of-thing that keeps getting more complicated, and a Chuck Norris joke. This 99,000 word bisexual menage romance novel was previously published.

Father Figure
Author: Jordan Shapiro
Publisher: Little, Brown Spark
ISBN: 031645995X
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
A thoughtful and "utterly mind-blowing" exploration of fatherhood and masculinity in the 21st century (New York Times). There are hundreds of books on parenting, and with good reason—becoming a parent is scary, difficult, and life-changing. But when it comes to books about parenting identity, rather than the nuts and bolts of raising children, nearly all are about what it's like to be a mother. Drawing on research in sociology, economics, philosophy, gender studies, and the author's own experiences, Father Figure sets out to fill that gap. It's an exploration of the psychology of fatherhood from an archetypal perspective as well as a cultural history that challenges familiar assumptions about the origins of so-called traditional parenting roles. What paradoxes and contradictions are inherent in our common understanding of dads? Might it be time to rethink some aspects of fatherhood? Gender norms are changing, and old economic models are facing disruption. As a result, parenthood and family life are undergoing an existential transformation. And yet, the narratives and images of dads available to us are wholly inadequate for this transition. Victorian and Industrial Age tropes about fathers not only dominate the media, but also contour most people's lived experience. Father Figure offers a badly needed update to our collective understanding of fatherhood—and masculinity in general. It teaches dads how to embrace the joys of fathering while guiding them toward an image of manliness for the modern world.

Daddy, We Hardly Knew You
Author: Germaine Greer
Publisher: Rosetta Books

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
“Ferocious psychic need and volcanic energy drive this combined memoir, detective story and travelogue” from the author of The Female Eunuch (The New Yorker). After her father died, influential feminist writer and public intellectual Germaine Greer realizes how little she knows about him. She decides to track the life of her father, an Australian intelligence officer during World War II, to uncover the roots of his secrecy and distance. As she painstakingly assembles the jigsaw pieces of the past, Greer discovers surprising secrets about her father, her family, and herself. During her three-year quest, Greer travels from England to Australia, Tasmania, India, and Malta; searches through scores of genealogical, civil, and military archives; and delves into the memories of the men and women who may—or may not—have known Reg Greer. Yet the heart of her “lyrical but brutal elegy” is her own emotional journey, as the startling facts behind her father’s façade force her to painfully examine her own notions of truth and loyalty, family and obligation (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). “Anyone who has done this kind of search will identify with Ms. Greer’s frustration, admire her persistence, laugh at her accuracy and rejoice in her discoveries.” —The New York Times Book Review “The deeply affecting climax is a remarkable feat of family reconstruction.” —Publishers Weekly
