When Daddy Came Home
Author: Barry Turner
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1473505151
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
Compelling and moving real-life accounts of the impact on family life of the return of the troops at the end of the Second World War. Summer 1945. Britain was in jubilant mood. At last, the war was over. Soon the men would be coming home. Then everything would be fine: life would get back to normal. Or would it? Six long years of war had profoundly changed family life. For years, Dad had been a khaki figure in a photograph on the wall, a crumpled letter from overseas, an occasional visitor on weekend leave. Now he was here to stay, a stranger in a group that had learned to live without him - and was not always prepared to have him back. Most homecomings were joyful, never-to-be-forgotten moments of humour and hope. Others were hard. And there was no one to deal with the tears and the trauma. It would take hope and courage for families to live and love together again.

Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 51
Book Description
Racing toward the end of life is a struggle we all must endure at one time or another. Now is the perfect chance to visualize in a real-life story how one woman and her father ran the race together. While a story of things that occurred, it is a narrative of relationship and faith. You will be able to see how important it is to build a solid relationship between the players. You will see how when relationships are developed with God at the helm, they are both survivable and worth the time. This is a story of life as a family, who built trust in each other to overcome all the obstacles in their journey. It is a potential guide through life, death, grief, and faith. Within this family's journey, it is possible to experience all the hard subjects that cry out for attention. It's a time to begin thinking about the turmoil and possible solutions before being overwhelmed. No one wants to think about the end of life, but allowing God to hold the ship's wheel can give peace. From fishing for knowledge to allowing the tumbleweeds of our life to strengthen us, this is a shared experience to help you build your own courage and faith.
