Book Description

William Standish is a distinguished retired journalist and political commentator, who has become a pillar of the establishment. When he dies of a heart attack in a Devon lane, none of his family knows why he was there. They descend on the nearest town to discover what happened. His daughter Marianne is consumed by religion and concerned that her father has a proper burial. Her brother Curtis is a photographer and uses the visit as an opportunity for a photo shoot. He takes a more jaundiced view of his father. Curtis's grandmother Mrs Somerset-Cunliffe insists that the body is not that of her son, but because she is losing touch with reality, nobody takes much notice. She is determined to investigate and enlists a reluctant Marianne to help. Even Curtis becomes curious when two strangers seem intent on befriending the family. It is left to Willie's widow Celia to keep her disparate family together, though this proves increasingly difficult.

Book Description

Is Daddy Really Dead? By: E.L. Hutton Is Daddy Really Dead? She’s lost him, her love, her husband, Robert. He left with friends on a weekend trip to solve a childhood mystery; then there was a car accident, and Robert is gone. They say he’s dead, but she doesn’t really believe that, doesn’t feel it. Is Daddy Really Dead? follows the haunting story of a family seeking answers as they face off against rich and powerful adversaries intent on maintaining the mystery and covering their tracks. There are no real clues as to what happened to him, simply a wrecked car, no body that his wife or family can see, no police or hospital records, even his parents don’t seem as devastated as one would expect. All research comes to a dead end. But never give up. Listen to your heart, and perhaps life will turn around suddenly. This is when we discover that we have the strength to go on. It is when we feel that life has taken our dreams, and all control out of our life, that something deep inside of us compels us to keep moving forward. This is God’s gift to many who have experienced sudden and drastic changes in their life that they never planned on.

Book Description

From the host of the YouTube channel that went viral—Dad, How Do I?—comes a book that’s part memoir/part inspiration/part DIY. Rob Kenney’s father left him and his seven siblings when he was fourteen years old, and the youngest had to fend for themselves. He wished that he had someone who could teach him the basics—how to tie a tie, jump-start a car, unclog a drain, use tools properly—as well as succeed in life. But he and his siblings had to figure these things out on their own. Now a father himself, Rob decided that he would help people out by providing how-to tips as well as advice—and even throw in some bad dad jokes. He started a YouTube channel for anyone looking for fatherly advice, and in the course of three months, gained a following of nearly 2.5 million subscribers, with millions of views for his how-to and inspirational videos. In this book, Rob shares his story of overcoming a difficult childhood with the strength of faith and family, and offers inspiration and hope. In addition, he provides 50 practical DYI instructions (30 of which will be unique to the book), illustrated with helpful line drawings.
