Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "So Sarah?" the teacher asked, in a question I had rehearsed with her, "what's it like to have a blind mom?""Well," my little girl said, in an unrehearsed answer, "it's like a regular mom, except Daddy won't let her drive his car."With that nonchalant reply in front of her second grade class, Sarah summed up the way my blindness has fit into the fabric of our family. It isn't a problem; it isn't even a novelty; it's just part of how we roll. My blindness has changed a few practical logistics. But in the end, kids are kids and moms are moms, and the dents and delights of parenthood are universal. As I told my daughter when she was very small, putting an only slightly different spin on the words my mom had said to me thirty years before, "The eyes in my face are broken, but the ones in the back of my head work just fine.""Daddy Won't Let Mom Drive the Car: True Tales of Parenting in the Dark" is a book of short vignettes-most of them lighthearted, a few more serious-about my life as the blind mother of a sighted daughter. Welcome to my journey!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As seen on CBS Sunday Morning · A hilarious pictorial parody of a clueless father and his adorable daughter In an attempt to create an image that his new daughter would one day appreciate, Dave Engledow took a photo in which he's cradling eight-week-old Alice Bee like a football and doctored it to look like he's squirting breast milk into a "World's Best Father" mug. Friends and family clamored for more. After Dave's humorous attempts to capture the sleep-deprived obliviousness of being a first-time dad went viral, he and Alice Bee found themselves bona fide Internet and television celebrities. Merging a Norman Rockwell aesthetic with a darkly comic sensibility, Dave pairs each side-splittingly funny image with a log entry describing the awkward situation that the World's Best Father has found himself in. Hilarious and heartwarming, Confessions of the World's Best Father is a celebration of the early years of parenthood.

A book about one man's dreams and strggles to get custody of his ten siblings and reunite his family together again. This book is a pure inspiration to millions. I was always challenged by people that said that they were normal, telling me that I wouldn't make it in life because of how I was born. Not only is this book written from my heart, but it is also written through my pain and tears, triumphs and victories. It is my desire that kids that are born handicap would have the understanding that no on can make you handicap, if you chose not to be that handicap is a state of one's mind. It is my desire that the department of Social Services will remove the name 'foster' from kids. There is no such thing as a false child, all kids are real. For those that are single parents, I hope that you receive new strength. You can make it, don't give up. For the parents that have kids that were born handicap, if you want them normal, don't raise them handicap. For you that have lost your family through the system, don't give up, miracles still happen. For those of you that had been through sexual, physical, psychological, or any other abuse you can be healed. Many people's childhoods destroyed their adulthoods. For you this does not have to be so. Remember a quitter never wins, and a winner never quits. Last, those who say they can and those wh say they can not, are both correct.

They do not know that they have a deeper understanding and recognition for love than most others. They have not yet been told that the dissociative states, the constant firing of fear in their brains (panic disorders), and the need to scan an environment for danger actually created an expansion in their consciousness. That expansion will allow abused or violated people to heal their wounds, release the blocks to love in their lives, and be the pioneers who create our New Reality. Happily Ever After is a collection of stories about six children who suffered from abuse. These stories have been strategically written through NLP techniques to allow the reader to access compassion and tap into the vast imagination that is available to all at birth. The children in these stories offer an incredible gift in their imaginative scenarios toward building a kinder and more compassionate world--a New World that elicits motivation and enthusiasm instead of violence.
