Download or read book Bobblehead Dad written by Jim Higley and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2011 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an inspirational account of a typical dad's extraordinary journey through several forgotten life lessons -- and the discovery of one life-changing gift. Jim Higley was a forty-year-old bobblehead. Just like those collectible figurines -- with an oversized head on a bouncy spring -- he had put on a smiling face and bobble through his hectic, overflowing days. Higley's bobbling comes to a screeching halt with the diagnosis of cancer and a summer of healing. But this is not only a cancer story. This book gives the reader a front row seat in the author's discovery of illuminating parallels between the events of his childhood and adulthood, as he delves into his family history with rich, vivid detail. Through humorous and poignant memories, "Bobblehead Dad" unwraps lessons from the past -- revealing meaning in simple moments and the people who fill them -- including the surprise discovery of Higley's most important lesson, quietly waiting for over thirty years. Written in an informal but eloquent voice, the book keeps readers laughing, crying and -- most importantly -- thinking about their own life journey. Higley's distinctive storytelling rhythm, combined with a knack for handling heavy topics with an embraceable voice, quickly draws readers into his experiences -- while launching them on their own journey of self-discovery and reflection.
Book Synopsis Life Lessons from My Father by : John Fouts Gardenhire
Download or read book Life Lessons from My Father written by John Fouts Gardenhire and published by . This book was released on 2006-02-28 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life Lessons from My Father is a presentation of sayings that my father used as he raised the three of us in Mud Town, Topeka's own black ghetto. The sayings were designed to provide us with the personal and social skills that he understood were required for kids like us to function comfortably individually and publicly. He worked, grounding each of us in our own self-esteem. He lived to see the effect of his efforts, and he was pleased. Customer Review Hal Lockard, The Capital-Journal A former Topekan appeased his daughter by compiling an anecdotal collection of his father's sayings and how they applied to everyday situations. The result can benefit parents and children both. Life Lessons From My Father: Things Dad Used to Say by John Fouts Gardenhire, a 1951 graduate of Topeka High School, turns out to be a historic review of one black family's experience in Topeka's "Mud Town." Fouts grew up with a brother and sister under the guidance of Shirley Richard Gardenhire at 807 Wood in East Topeka. His book reveals a lot about the elder Gardenhire's education, occupation and optimistic views on life. The project began with a telephone call from Alissa, his daughter in Maplewood, N.J., who told him, "Dad, I want to talk to you." "And when a kid says that it means either they're in jail or they need money," Gardenhire said. He was relieved to learn that she wanted the two of them to write a book recalling of phrases his father and her grandfather, would say. "She talked, and I wrote," Gardenhire said. The finished product came out in about six months, and 19 publishers rejected it before Xlibris put in print in February. The end result is pared down to about 35 sayings, but he offers an additional 25 or so in an addendum for readers wanting more. It's all good advice. Shirley Richard Gardenhire was born in 1891 in Alma, graduated from Kansas State College in Manhattan and worked for the Santa Fe Railway until retiring. He died in Seattle in the 1970s, and his obituary wasn't published in Topeka. The author graduated from The University of Kansas in 1958 and taught English for many years at Laney College in Oakland, Calif. He moved to Maplewood, N.J., to live near Alissa and his grandson. "If there is any kind of heaven after this, it will be peopled with grandchildren," he says. Among the sayings that are treated with explanatory anecdotes are "Read the newspaper," "Be on time," "Study Latin," "Discipline your children" and "It's a poor dog that won't wag his own tail." It makes for easy reading that can be handled a little at a time or all once. Amazon gives it a five-star rating, and it can be ordered from Barnes and Noble Booksellers or Borders Books and Music. "Its something I hope people not only will enjoy but will learn something from it," he said. It's something expectant fathers might want to take a look at. Publisher

Book Synopsis My Father Left Me Ireland by : Michael Brendan Dougherty
Download or read book My Father Left Me Ireland written by Michael Brendan Dougherty and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The perfect gift for parents this Father’s Day: a beautiful, gut-wrenching memoir of Irish identity, fatherhood, and what we owe to the past. “A heartbreaking and redemptive book, written with courage and grace.” –J.D. Vance, author of Hillbilly Elegy “…a lovely little book.” –Ross Douthat, The New York Times The child of an Irish man and an Irish-American woman who split up before he was born, Michael Brendan Dougherty grew up with an acute sense of absence. He was raised in New Jersey by his hard-working single mother, who gave him a passion for Ireland, the land of her roots and the home of Michael's father. She put him to bed using little phrases in the Irish language, sang traditional songs, and filled their home with a romantic vision of a homeland over the horizon. Every few years, his father returned from Dublin for a visit, but those encounters were never long enough. Devastated by his father's departures, Michael eventually consoled himself by believing that fatherhood was best understood as a check in the mail. Wearied by the Irish kitsch of the 1990s, he began to reject his mother's Irish nationalism as a romantic myth. Years later, when Michael found out that he would soon be a father himself, he could no longer afford to be jaded; he would need to tell his daughter who she is and where she comes from. He immediately re-immersed himself in the biographies of firebrands like Patrick Pearse and studied the Irish language. And he decided to reconnect with the man who had left him behind, and the nation just over the horizon. He began writing letters to his father about what he remembered, missed, and longed for. Those letters would become this book. Along the way, Michael realized that his longings were shared by many Americans of every ethnicity and background. So many of us these days lack a clear sense of our cultural origins or even a vocabulary for expressing this lack--so we avoid talking about our roots altogether. As a result, the traditional sense of pride has started to feel foreign and dangerous; we've become great consumers of cultural kitsch, but useless conservators of our true history. In these deeply felt and fascinating letters, Dougherty goes beyond his family's story to share a fascinating meditation on the meaning of identity in America.
Book Synopsis Nine Lessons I Learned from My Father by : Murray Howe
Download or read book Nine Lessons I Learned from My Father written by Murray Howe and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A GLOBE AND MAIL BESTSELLER As a child, Murray Howe wanted to be like his father. He was an adult before he realized that didn't necessarily mean playing hockey. Gordie Howe may have been the greatest player in the history of hockey, but greatness was never defined by goals or assists in the Howe household. Greatness meant being the best person you could be, not the best player on the ice. Unlike his two brother, Murray Howe failed in his attempt to follow in his father's footsteps to become a professional athlete. Yet his failure brought him to the realization that his dream wasn't really to be a pro hockey player. His dream was to be his father. To be amazing at something, but humble and gracious. To be courageous, and stand up for the little guy. To be a hero. You don't need to be a hockey player to do that. What he learned was that it was a waste of time wishing you were like someone else. When Gordie Howe passed away in 2016, it was Murray who was asked to deliver the eulogy. Nine Lessons I Learned from My Father takes the reader through the hours Murray spent writing the words that would give shape to his father's leagcy--the hours immediately after his hero's death, as he gathers his thoughts and memories, and makes sense of what his remarkable father meant to him. The result is nine pieces of wisdom, built out of hundreds of stories, that show us the man behind the legend and give us a glimpse of what we can learn from this incredible life.
