The Good Enough Parent
A parenting guide providing compassionate instruction and insight into raising a resilient, well-balanced child. Bringing up a child to be an authentic and mentally robust adult is one of life's great challenges. It is also, fortunately, not a matter of luck. The Good Enough Parent is a compendium of life lessons, including how to say 'no' to a child you adore, how to look beneath the surface of 'bad' behavior to work out what might really be going on, how to encourage a child to be genuinely kind, and how to handle the moods and gloom of adolescence. Most importantly, this is a book that knows that perfection is not required - and indeed the tiger mom approach is flawed, because a key job of any parent is to induct a child gently into the imperfect nature of everything. Written in a tone that is encouraging, wry, and soaked in years of experience, The Good Enough Parent is an intelligent guide to raising a child who will one day look back on their childhood with just the right mixture of gratitude, humor, and love.

Your why, your reason to get up in the morning, the reason you act, really is everything - for without it, there could be nothing. Your why is the partner of your what, that is what you want to achieve, your ultimate goal.mYour why will be what pushes you through the hard times on the path to your dreams.nIt may be your children or a burning desire to help those less fortunate, whatever the reason may be, it is important to keep that in mind when faced with troubles or distractions. Knowing what you want to do, and why you are doing it, is of imperative importance for your life. The tragedy is that most people are aiming for nothing. They couldn't tell you why they are working in a certain field even if they tried. Apart from the obvious financial payment, They have no clue why they are there.

Smiling Through Stumbling Blocks
"Stumbling Blocks," written by a Nigerian-born, has come at the appropriate time when honesty and hard work is now at its lowest ebb in today's society, especially among the youths. Nobody wants to work hard with honesty and perseverance for a living. Of course, some, if not most of them imbibe this abhorrent character from some of their older generation whom Satan manipulated to acquire the "get-rich-quick" syndrome without working for it. They want what they do not have, so they kill to get it. They long for what others have, and cannot afford it, so they start a fight to take it away from them.

For Fidelity
"[Wallace] makes an eloquent case for sexual fidelity" (The New Yorker) in this book that presents marriage as an art and a spiritual exercise. Drawing inspiration from both contemporary psychology and ancient spiritual traditions, Catherine Wallace shares her vision of marriage in which the rewards are limitless: properly nurtured, our sexual needs and vulnerabilities turn out not to be liabilities but powerful, generative gifts.

The Lunch-Box Chronicles
Child Magazine Best Book of the Year "For me, parenting is like dieting. Every day, I wake up filled with resolve and good intentions, perfection in view, and every day I somehow stray from the path. The difference is with dieting, I usually make it to lunch. . . ." With the candor and often hilarious outlook that have made her a beloved commentator on NPR, Marion Winik takes the reader on an unforgettable journey through modern parenthood, with all of its attendant anxieties and joys. A single mother with two small boys, Winik knows exactly what she's talking about, from battles over breakfast and bedtime to the virtues of pre-packaged food and weightier issues like sex education and sibling rivalry. Part memoir and part survival guide, The Lunch-Box Chronicles is an engaging philosophy of parenting from a staunch realist, who knows that kids and their parents both will inevitably fall far short of perfection, and that a "good enough mom" really is, in fact, good enough.
Joining the Tribe
As our country struggles to accept its gay and lesbian citizens, the debate for gay civil rights often focuses on the issue of choice, with the majority of Americans believing that to be gay is a choice, one that's embraced for its lifestyle. This belief ignores the presence and experience of one segment of the gay and lesbian population: its youth. In Joining The Tribe, journalist Linnea Due travels America to create a portrait of gay and lesbian teenagers as an endangered and vulnerable community whose diversity, courage, and resiliency will inspire gay and straight readers alike. By vividly documenting the lives of gay and lesbian teenagers, Due shows that homosexuality is not about choice. It's about fights in the schoolyard, whispers in the locker room, cruel classmates, and oblivious or abusive parents. Most gay and lesbian youth endure severe humiliation and isolation for being gay, resulting in depression and low self-esteem for most, and suicide for some. Combining in-depth interviews with social analysis, Due reveals the realities gay and lesbian teenagers face, often without the support of family, peer groups, or adult gay and lesbian networks. With stories from across America, Due meets kids from a range of backgrounds and families, with some in the closet, some out, most somewhere-in-between, all struggling to grow into adulthood. By turns heartbreaking and infuriating, Joining The Tribe shows how against overwhelming odds, gay and lesbian teenagers continue to survive and bounce back, ready to join their brothers and sisters in gay America's fight for freedom and respect.

Will I ever Love Again?
Through her pages of truth, Na-Tasha Rise encourages other women, or anyone going through separation, divorce, and even death of a loved one, there is hope. You will survive, You can make it through, and there are many others in the world just like you. Through the power of prayer and a bucket load of faith, she enlightens us through her journey. While she picks up the pieces of a love she thought was broken, ultimately repeating a message so clear, "You are not alone." Will I Ever Love Again? is a riveting roller coaster ride of emotions that came to a halt when Na-Tasha tapped into the truth of who she is. Her past could not define her, neither can any trial or obstacle she embarked on determine who she is, but it's her response to it all that builds her. Na-Tasha exhibits that hell has no reins over a woman determined to persevere and live. Albert Einstein once said, "In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity," and the opportunity to speak her truth helped set Na-Tasha free. She hopes that it can do the same for you. Just like the light in the room, its sole purpose for being turned on is so that you can see; therefore, when you face darkness with light, you are now able to see again. Na-Tasha wants the whole world to see - Hope, Faith, Peace, Joy, and Love dwells within thee... Will You Love Again?

Talk Grey to Me
Talk Grey To Me explores the grey area of life-related to an individual's academic views and experience. More specifically, it explores the challenges of pursuing post-graduation plans while encountering unexpected realities of life. It is founded on interviews with individuals with college experience, individuals who have attended college but chose not to finish, and college graduates. Upon post-graduation, I found myself substitute teaching while awaiting my last job offer with my future employer. While in this period, I found myself in the grey area. It was not pretty. I interviewed individuals about the grey area related to their college views to gain some insight. While interviewing individuals, I saw I was not alone as they were also trying to figure life out. It is time we normalize the grey and embrace our grey areas. I encourage you to read this book and begin conversations within your inner circle regarding the grey area. Remember, in the grey area, you are evolving, and that is exactly where you need to be.

Fathers and Sons
David Seybold, editor of the anthologies Seasons of the Angler and Boats, once again brings together some of the best writers of our time in this collection of essays, poems, and stories that examine the mysterious yet eternal relationship between father and son. At turns nostalgic, cathartic, revealing, and wryly humorous, these pieces-coming from vastly different voices-become a poignant and deeply honest tribute to men in all their mortality, both as father and child. Geologist and author Rick Bass writes about the habits of the Basses, men who live by the simple yet noble assertion "We were raised outdoors, and it's been a blessing of our life." Bass shows how his patriarchy has passed on the legacy of love of land, pride in honor, vision that's broad and generous. In "Why I'm Not a Banker," Robert F. Jones recalls that summer when he shed his adolescent belief that his father was perfect and godlike; watching him serve as a yes-man to his amoral banking boss, young Jones tastes the first bitter flavor of adulthood. And William Hjortsberg, in "Last Rites," manages to express a sense of loss, absurdity, and hilarious incomprehension in his eleven-year-old hero, who must come to terms with the cremated remains of his father. Add to these the voices of twenty other talents, including Donald Hall, Joseph McElroy, and Charles Gaines, and Fathers and Sons becomes a collection that transcends categorization, as do all ties between fathers and sons.
