Journey of a Thousand Miles tells the remarkable story of a boy who sacrificed almost everything – family, financial security, childhood and his reputation in China’s insular classical music world – to fulfil his promise as a classical pianist. Lang Lang was born in Shenyang in north-eastern China just after the end of the Cultural Revolution. He began piano lessons at three years old and by age ten had been awarded a place at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing. In order to continue his studies he moved thousands of miles from home, living with his exacting father in a cramped, shared apartment, while his mother stayed at home to earn the money to pay his fees. At fifteen he moved to the United States to take up a scholarship at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia; by nineteen he was selling out Carnegie Hall. His tutor and mentor Daniel Barenboim was perhaps the first to describe him as ‘extraordinarily talented’; today his assessment is shared by millions. Now in adulthood, Lang Lang tours relentlessly, delighting sell-out audiences with his trademark flamboyance and showmanship. Journey of a Thousand Miles is a tale of heartbreak, drama and ultimately triumph. His inspiring story demonstrates the courage and self-sacrifice required to achieve artistic greatness.

After a decade of silence, Dee and Ben reunite for a road trip they once promised to take. It’s going to be a bumpy ride. Dee Matthews is the cohost of the smash-hit podcast Did I Forget To Tell You?, where she interviews family, friends, and past lovers. Nothing is off limits, except for one man (known on the show only as Name Redacted) who happens to be her high school best friend Ben. During their senior year spring break, Dee and Ben took a road trip to visit Ben’s grandma. They buried a time capsule in her backyard, pledging to return in ten years to open it. Then their friendship fell apart in spectacular fashion. They haven’t spoken to each other since. Ben Porter’s life since that moment has been unexciting but comfortable, until his grandma reveals a family secret that flips his whole world upside down. Her dying wish is for him to stop doing what is safest and go after what he really wants. He starts by showing up on Dee’s doorstep with every intention of fulfilling their long-ago promise. Despite her reservations, Dee can’t say no. This trip could be her chance to give her listeners the Name Redacted interview they’ve been begging for—and finally put her unresolved feelings for Ben to rest. As the miles fly by, Dee and Ben's friendship reignites. But the closer they get to reaching their destination, the more apparent it becomes that their attraction to each other cannot be ignored. Their last adventure ended in disaster, and they’re about to find out if any hope of a future together is in the rear view mirror.

So you've decided to homeschool. There's too much information out there and all of it is about what to do with your KIDS. There's precious little about what life is like for the Homeschooling Parent - and you want to know about things like... how will you socialize without school to help you get to know your kids' friends and their parents? what is it really like being home all day with your kids? why do other parents choose to homeschool? how are you ever going to handle high school (or middle school)? what are you going to do if you don't want to do this anymore? If it's way too hard? And the BIG Question: Are you going to fail your kids? This book is for YOU, the homeschooling parent (and for your support system of adults, though it's written for you). In these pages I will show you how to cope with teaching, chores, fears, and many of the everyday things that make us all stress out like crazy. Let me share with you the lessons learned from my six active kids (ages 20 down through 9 as of September 2022) and fifteen years of "formal" homeschooling, my experience running numerous homeschooling groups (for both parents and kids)... and from being a homeschooled kid (2nd-12th grades) myself. Your kid - and you - may have different ambitions, but let me tell you about how I - and my two homeschool graduates - have been accepted and successfully attended selective colleges in the USA. And the sports... yes, we've done sports as well as academics. And let me help you start (or continue) on your homeschooling journey as a friend who has gone this way first and hopes to smooth the road for you.

In April of 2017, Jayden M. Semotan’s life changed greatly. After learning his mom was being deployed for more than six months, he had so many questions. Would she die? Would she go to war? As a nine-year-old boy, he didn’t know how to handle his feelings. Having his mom deployed was very different than having his dad go. A Green Light for Mom chronicles his journey of emotions, frustrations, and struggles as he survives the challenges of a parent’s deployment. Jayden tells how he experienced significant life events without having his mom to share them with, like his first double-digit birthday, travels to Florida with only his dad, graduating from fourth grade, and all the ups and downs of his sports involvement. Jayden also shares how he and his dad had an opportunity to travel to the other side of the world to see his mom. In the end, Jayden realizes he can overcome tough times. He learns that true strength comes from family.

Camisha Broussard's author debut, "Daddy Issues," offers a sometimes amusing, all-the-time hopeful, and eventual loving look at a dysfunctional parent-child relationship through the eyes of a fatherless daughter. Taking an atypical approach to the normal daughterless perspective, Camisha forces herself to reflect on the good things about her alcoholic father, humanizing him to the point of being more empathetic of the man he was, rather than remorseful of his shortcomings as the dad she wished him to be. From troubled teen to college professor, wife, and mother of four, Camisha's approach to the average fatherless daughter relationship is anything but stereotypical and is a profoundly holistic look at real life with real people who have real problems. From colorism to alcoholism, "Daddy Issues," promises readers a rollercoaster ride filled with every emotion imaginable reaching a final destination of forgiveness, hope, and finally love.

DR. ELAM S. KURTZ WAS A MAN OF GREAT VISION, a man of deep faith, and a man of enormous energy. With these qualities, and more, God formed, fashioned, and refined a person, and a medical doctor, who had a profound and pervasive positive influence upon the many people whom his life touched and whom he served. To his patients he was known as Dr. Kurtz, or Doc. To his friends he was referred to as Elam. His family addressed him as Dad, or, in later years he was affectionately referred to as Pop. Pops eighty-six years of life yielded numerous transitions and changes in various areas and aspects of his living, or crossings as Dad alluded to these transitions. This book attempts to capture and share many of these crossings. Yet, more than relating just the actual crossings, the hope is that readers will discover in these pages inspiration and motivation for their own journey crossings. By reflecting upon how one of Gods children--Elam S. Kurtz--embraced the transitions and crossings of life with great vision, deep faith, and enormous energy, may we also learn, and put into practice, the great lessons of life, seeking to serve God and humankind with our very best.

A Father’s Job Is Never Done explores through the life experiences of men from around the world and defines what it means to be a dad. It shares lessons, hardships, and triumphs and provides a platform for men at all the various stages of fatherhood with the opportunity to examine their efforts and commitments and to then draw conclusions that will assist, support, and sustain them in their journeys as present and engaged men, husbands, and fathers in the lives of their children and families. Far too many men fail in their efforts to honor the promises that they once made. Their absence, their ensuing struggles, and their familial separation cause irreparable harm and leave wounds that often never heal. The examples here identify the milestones that dads should be mindful of and provide concrete portraits painted by men who have not always had it right. They are by men willing to share their experiences regardless of their blemishes. A Father’s Job Is Never Done is the tool so many dads have needed—a tool that can be readily used by fathers young and old alike. Yes, there’s real work when it comes to being a dad, and all the ensuing worry can be overwhelming. There is, though, great wonderment—wonderment that many men miss and never get to experience. This work is the compass that so many dads have needed, and it is also a resource for mothers, mothers who are fighting for their husbands, partners, and families and fighting the good fight for which they are uniquely prepared.
