Download or read book Mummy Says Daddy Says written by Jules Ede and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “There are three things that Children will happily share . . . . Nasal mucus secretions. Animal excrement deposits on their shoes. The precise age of their parents.” Mummy Says...Daddy Says introduces the reader to the surreal world of Jules Ede, an author fortunate enough to have resided on the affluent border of South West London and Surrey for the past fourteen years. Having had the opportunity to observe and analyse family life of its more comfortable residents and their privileged offspring from several different aspects, he attempts to sketch an authentic but affectionate caricature of some of these parents and their children by using a canvas of some scenarios that they might well be experiencing in their everyday lives. Stencilled sparingly between some of these portraits are a few choice quotations from children about their nurturers, and alternatively from parents about their beloved offspring that prove to be entertaining and a glimpse through the window of society’s anomalies. The illustrations contained within the pages are completely original and echo those that might appear in Ladybird Adult Humour books. Existing parents will appreciate the humour and entirely accurate portraits depicting the beautiful and often embarrassing things our children say.

Book excerpt: By the time they reach eighteen, Joni and Caycee have been best friends their entire lives—growing up at each other’s houses, as close as sisters. But everything changes when Joni’s grandmother, who raised her, dies, and Lewis comes to town. Within a few months, Joni has left to go to college hundreds of miles away without even saying goodbye to Caycee, who is left behind, bewildered, hurt, and aching with loneliness. Not even being married to Lewis and carrying his child can fill the hole left by Joni’s mysterious departure and subsequent silence. When their premature baby dies, Lewis’s lack of love for Caycee and their very different reactions become clear—and finding an infant girl named Madisin left on their doorstep only complicates matters further. In the same marriage and under the same roof, they live vastly different emotional lives. Only years later, when tragedy strikes Caycee and Lewis again and Joni is persuaded to return, is the truth about Joni’s disappearance brought to light. She and Caycee are finally reconciled, but with consequences far greater than anyone could have imagined. This novel, woven together in the voices of its five main characters, reveals the complexity of human nature in its portrayal of fierce love, searing grief, self-hatred, surprising tenderness, and attraction that survives even while it destroys. In the end, one question remains: in a world where intentions don’t always have the expected outcomes, should the truth prevail in every situation, regardless of the cost?
