After 20-plus years of marriage and parenting, popular radio host, professor and author Wil LaVeist uncovered a family secret that dropped him and his adult daughter to their knees. A chance DNA test revealed that his ?daddy?s girl? is not his biological child. LaVeist instead focused on the future, confronting the root cause that led to this tremendous pain and his daughter?s resentment as she tries to cope with the truth. Dear Daughter is his love letter from a dad to his daughter, and to all women who?ve had broken relationships with their fathers that often lead to reckless choices that cause great pain. In this, ironically, pro-marriage work, LaVeist weaves the advice of experts with storytelling ? including his own journey ending in divorce court, revealing the damaging flaws of paternity laws. He bridges the ?deadbeat dads? gap, delivering transparent provocative dialogue on love, pain, healing and the law that good dad?s share, but that many women miss when their fathers are absent or dysfunctional. Dear Daughter will appeal to women who are considering marriage and parenting, but also anyone who des
As I pen the words of this book I feel immense joy to know that these words will be touching the lives of young and old readers alike. Parents, procrastinators, children of low-income families, people who think the world is set against them, readers with courage to climb but lacking the motivation. We only know when we fail if we try. Unless we sacrifice something there is little to be gained. If you want to be full you have to read, because reading maketh a full man. A general overall knowledge of what it is like growing up as a child of a low-income family, and facing all the challenges that goes with it.
This self-help workbook will create pathways to learning nineteen interactional roles which will allow you to become more flexible and responsive in highly charged emotional situations. True-to-life case scenarios, self-reflection, and guided practice will gently encourage you to take new risks in order to change your role in those personal and professional relationships which fester feelings of unhappiness, anxiety, sadness, and even depression. Light will be shed on how the adoption of new roles can even shed new light on complex family situations which appear hopeless.
In rural East Tennessee, a family stands to lose all when they receive a federal notice of forfeiture against their home and land. A local man is charged with the cultivation and trafficking of marijuana when plants are discovered by the DEA in a remote parcel of over a hundred acres of family property held through five generations. John and Ellen Griffith's marriage is already in peril when their daughter Barbara turns up at their door, having fled an abusive marriage with puzzling new feelings about her sexual orientation. Their son Will is away at MIT on a full scholarship and kept in the dark and their son Walt is a disillusioned post-grad with a penchant for doing nothing, back home with his own souring relationship and no prospects. As the story unfolds, so does the truth- with its dark secrets that threaten to break the implicit trust between a husband, wife and their children. A gripping and suspenseful story of a family struck by a legal nightmare that threatens to pull it apart at the seams- if the dark forces within and between them don't first.

Deseada, buscada, provocada, inadvertida, la soledad puede adoptar muchas formas, pero en la mayoría de casos es una situación que nos da miedo, nos genera rechazo y tratamos de evitar a toda costa. En el mundo actual y especialmente a partir de una cierta edad, parece que la soledad se entiende como un fracaso: estar soltero, divorciado o separado es algo que debe superarse a toda costa. Sin embargo, saber estar solo es en realidad un signo de madurez, de autonomía, de riqueza personal. A solas es una oda a la vulnerabilidad, al atrevimiento, a no dejarse vencer. Silvia Congost, una de las psicólogas más conocidas de nuestro país, rompe en este libro, lleno de reflexiones y consejos, con las ideas preconcebidas sobre no tener pareja y nos invita a perderle miedo al monstruo de la soledad desde su propia experiencia. A quedarnos en silencio escuchando nuestro cuerpo, conectando con los latidos de nuestro corazón, con el ruido de nuestra respiración u observando la forma y el contenido de nuestros pensamientos. A atravesar los tortuosos caminos de la soledad hasta llegar a la propia liberación, esa que solo se consigue cuando vamos de frente, sin dejar de avanzar.
