One reviewer had this to say about Father: “A commanding, ultimately satisfying tale of interwoven lives, unanticipated miracles, surprises and fulfillments…”
Bob Shepherd is the workaholic accountant of Birch Woods Nursing Home in Neumann, Connecticut. He’s at the end of his rope. One of his few friends is dying. It looks as if his boss is about to fire him. And Bob’s wife, Sylvia, pregnant with their third child, is thinking about divorce.
Kevin Moore, the newly appointed priest at St. Catherine’s Catholic church in Neumann, has already established himself as a strong presence in the community. Dreaming of greatness, Kevin wants to believe the strange symptoms he’s been experiencing are a sign from the divine. Tom Ryan, the pastor of the church, is worried that his assistant is letting his ego get the better of him.
Rudy Samson is the elderly caretaker of Mills Park—just across the street from St. Catherine’s church. He tries to hide himself away in his stone shed, but there is no escaping his shame. Rudy even keeps his closest friend, Lem Harris, at a distance. Forty-five years earlier, Rudy left his wife for an affair that cost him his only son.
During the course of one week, extraordinary events occur that will transform the pain of these three men into hopes for a future that none of them could have imagined.

How to Say It™ For Couples: Communicating with Tenderness, Openness, and Honesty
“This book is about how to have meaningful conversation with your partner when the right words aren’t obvious or don’t come easily.”
That is the opening line of the book that is designed to be like no other communications book you’ve read.
Publishers Weekly says “this clear, well-organized, reassuring book will benefit many couples.” The reason for that is so much of the current advice on how to communicate effectively is actually outdated and not as useful as previously thought. (For example, while unhappy couples might complain, “Stop interrupting me!” the truth is that the happiest of couples interrupt one another more often than unhappy couples and show no ill-effects from it. What gives? This book explains why.)
The truth is that the most important conversational tools can be remembered easily using the mnemonic GIFTS. If you put into practice these five, most essential rules, your communication efforts will dramatically improve.
Part One of the book describes these most important tools. Part Two provides one-hundred scenarios faced by practically every couple—from dealing with financial problems, child-rearing, in-laws, sex, adversity, and so forth—and provides numerous examples of the best—and worst—ways to have those conversations. This book is a must-have if communication problems have ever complicated your life.
How to Say It™ To Your Kids: The Right Words to Solve Problems, Soothe Feelings, and Teach Values
“A no-nonsense yet warm and caring book full of specific advice and words that you can put to use immediately.”
-Jean Marzollo, author of the “I Spy” books
A perennial favorite. The book is designed so that a parent can quickly locate a problem or issue that needs addressing (there are over a hundred scenarios that most parents will face eventually) and immediately come away with examples of how best to talk about it to the kids. The book describes the six approaches we use when talking to children (those approaches form the mnemonic TENDER) and reveal the benefits and cautions of each approach for each topic that is presented. Want to know what to say when your child acts defiant? When his friends are mean to him? When she’s frustrated by her homework? When a pet dies? When he overhears you arguing with your spouse?
The book is one you will use again and again as your children get older and new issues and concerns are faced.
How to Say It™ To Your Child When Bad Things Happen

This book explains the concept of emotional trauma and how it can affect your child. Then it offers specific, sound advice on what to say, how to say it, and when to say it.
