Download or read book The Trouble with Dad written by Peg Herring and published by Peg Herring. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of KIDNAP.org and Pharma Con comes Book #3 of the Kidnap Capers series. Readers of the series know the lovable misfits who make up the Kidnap Gang: Robin, a former legal secretary; Cam a guy with developmental delays; Hua, a former victim of human trafficking, Tom, a disabled veteran, and Luca, a woman with an “interesting” past. In an earnest desire to right wrongs for the little guys, the Kidnap Gang abducts cheaters, shows them the error of their ways, and releases them with the understanding they’ll become honest citizens. In this third and final story, Robin’s attempt at a simple caper goes wildly wrong when her father appears on the scene and turns her world upside down. Mark Parsons is Robin’s bugaboo, the voice in her head she can’t silence. Though she admits he taught her things that are useful to the gang, that’s no credit to his parenting. He’s the kind of person who would—and did--use his own children to further his money-grubbing schemes. Now Mark has a new con in mind, and he forces Robin to help by threatening Cam’s life. Soon the rest of the gang is sucked into Mark’s web too. Robin is fully aware that her father would sacrifice any of them, even her, to get what he wants, which at the moment is a large chunk of kindly old Harry Robeson’s money. Running the con is the only way Robin can save Cam and maybe…maybe get her whole gang through this. Still, it’s hard when the person you have to outsmart to save the day is your own father.

Download or read book The Life of Dad written by Anna Machin and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-06-14 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE STORY OF FATHERHOOD AND WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A FATHER TODAY, BASED ON A DECADE-LONG STUDY OF NEW AND EXPECTANT FATHERS. Becoming a father is one of most common but also one of the most profoundly life-altering experiences a man can have. It is up there with puberty, falling in love and experiencing your first loss. Fifty years ago a father’s role was assumed to be clear: he went to work; he provided the pay cheque; and he acted as a disciplinarian when he got home. But today a father’s role is much more fluid and complex. Dr Anna Machin has spent the past decade working with new and expectant fathers, studying the experiences of fathers and the questions fathers have: ‘Will fatherhood change me?’, ‘How do other men fulfil the role?’, ‘How can I help my child grow into a healthy, happy adult?’. In The Life of Dad, Dr Machin draws on her research and the latest findings in genetics, neuroscience and psychology to tell the story of fatherhood. She will show the extraordinary physiological changes a man undergoes when he becomes a father, investigate how a man’s genes can influence what sort of father he will be, and will show how a dad makes a unique contribution to his child’s life, helping to foster independence of mind and spirit. Throughout the book, readers will encounter the voices of real dads, expectant and established, as well as fascinating insights into fatherhood from across the globe. The Life of Dad throws out the old stereotypes of fatherhood in an entertaining and informative journey through the role of dad – helping you decide what sort of father you want to be. ‘A tour-de-force exploration of the forgotten half of the parenthood business. Essential reading for every expectant dad … and mum.’ – Robin Dunbar, professor of evolutionary psychology, University of Oxford
