Have you struggled to see God fathering you throughout your life? Julie McGhghy began the first Father's Day card she sent to her biological father when she was 14 years old with Hey Dad, It's Me! After meeting him when she was 16 years old, they built a relationship that always seemed guarded. At her dad's funeral, she learned why. Julie's dad felt guilty for having left her and her brother when they were small children and letting another man adopt them. For many years afterward, she mentally constructed letters she would have sent her dad explaining why he didn't need to feel guilty. Julie was not fatherless. God fathered her better than any earthly father could have. Julie is one of millions of people who grew up with a physically or emotionally absent father. If you are one of them, or if you minister to someone who is one of them, then read Hey Dad, It's Me! to learn how God has also fathered you. If you don't feel loved or lovable because your father was not present and didn't love you, read how God loved Julie, and loves you, unconditionally and does all the things you wanted your father to do. If you declare by faith that God is "God the Father," but you are unable to see that God has actually fathered you throughout your life, read Hey Dad, It's Me! Julie will help you see that God is not just your Heavenly Father, but He actively fathers you here and now because He loves you.

The powerful, unforgettable graphic memoir from Jarrett Krosoczka, about growing up with a drug-addicted mother, a missing father, and two unforgettably opinionated grandparents. A National Book Award Finalist! In kindergarten, Jarrett Krosoczka's teacher asks him to draw his family, with a mommy and a daddy. But Jarrett's family is much more complicated than that. His mom is an addict, in and out of rehab, and in and out of Jarrett's life. His father is a mystery -- Jarrett doesn't know where to find him, or even what his name is. Jarrett lives with his grandparents -- two very loud, very loving, very opinionated people who had thought they were through with raising children until Jarrett came along. Jarrett goes through his childhood trying to make his non-normal life as normal as possible, finding a way to express himself through drawing even as so little is being said to him about what's going on. Only as a teenager can Jarrett begin to piece together the truth of his family, reckoning with his mother and tracking down his father. Hey, Kiddo is a profoundly important memoir about growing up in a family grappling with addiction, and finding the art that helps you survive.

Sometimes Fitz would look at himself in the mirror, an expression of pathetic eagerness on his face. He was a dog in the pound, wanting to be adopted. He'd smile. What father wouldn't want this boy? Fifteen-year-old Fitzgerald—Fitz, to his friends—has just learned that his father, whom he's never met, who supports him but is not a part of his life, is living nearby. Fitz begins to follow him, watch him, study him, and on an otherwise ordinary May morning, he executes a plan to force his father, at gunpoint, to be with him. Over the course of one spring day, Fitz and his father become real to one another. Fitz learns about his father, why he's chosen to remain distant and what really happened between him and Fitz's mother. And his father learns what sort of boy his son has grown up to become.
