I Remember When Dad... Memories & Stories About Fathers
I Remember Dadr Say the word "father," and you might think of a man with a pipe in an armchair reading the paper. But say the words "my father," and out comes a mental photo album's worth of pictures where Dad was the center of the experience. This is the premise and perception of author Louise Betts Egan's tributed to dads everywhere, I Remember When Dad... Memories and Stories About Fathers. To compile this heartfelt homage, Egan asked people of all ages, from all walks of life, to reminisce about their dads. The results are reflective and poignant. "I will never forget Dad reading the last line of the first night's tale - 'The Tell-Tale Heart' - and to this day, the story and my father are linked in one of my favorite childhood adventures." -Helen, 46, Enid, Oklahoma. Throughout the pages of I Remember When Dad..., fond memories willing shared reach out to all of us, reminding us just how special our own fathers have been. It's a loving honor to that first most-important man in our lives.

Father Figures: Three Wise Men Who Changed a Life
When environmental consultant Sweeney, who was three when his father died of heart failure, turned eight, he chose three men who were friends of his family to serve as stand-ins. At the time, the men didn't know the role Sweeney had picked for them, but they wound up teaching him invaluable lessons over the course of his life. Part memoir, part tribute and part guide for those who have lost a parent, this book (which is based on a Salon.com article Sweeney wrote shortly after September 11) is a thoughtful, touching and realistic look at how children cope with loss. "I did not feel fatherless," Sweeney writes, "not exactly, even though my mother never remarried. I had a strategy for coping. I was a kid with a plan." In spare, unadorned prose studded with touching details, Sweeney relates what it was like to lean on, and learn from, the men around him as he charted his own path to adulthood. The book is a testament of children's strength and resilience in the face of loss.

Dads and Daughters: How to Inspire, Understand, and Support Your Daughter When She's Growing Up So Fast
Every father can make a huge difference in his daughter’s life.
As the primary male role model in a girl’s life, fathers influence their daughters in profound ways, from how they see themselves to what they come to expect from men and the world at large. But men often don’t realize the importance of their interactions or may shy away from too close involvement because of their inexperience, or conditioning. Especially as girls move into adolescence, fathers may find themselves feeling distant from their daughters or awkward with the changing dynamic. Communication becomes difficult and parenting issues more complicated. But this is also the time when daughters most need their fathers to be an even greater presence in their lives. Dads and Daughters is a tool to bridge that gap and build a rewarding and joyful father-daughter relationship.
