Book Description
Father Pat Cheyne, an unkempt, middle-aged priest on a lone canoe ride reflects on how these solitary meditations in his beloved canoe have marked his life. His thoughts reach back to his boyhood rejection of the boisterous ways of his father, just home from the war, to the memorable evening when he first prayed, eyes open, floating in a silent magic space with stars drenching the sky above and mirror lake below him. Even now, the canoe remains his own vehicle for understanding solitude. The Father Pat Stories chronicle the Anglican priest and former member of Parliament's pattern of engagement and disengagement as he very actively applies tolerance and forgiveness to his parishioner's difficulties in a world where religion often stands for intolerance and exclusion. The fast paced adventures engage a tight trio of friends Father Pat, his public relations pal, Terry, and their mutual big city reporter friend, Deirdre. The odd trio get all too intimately involved with each other and in problems, personal and institutional in Ridgewood, Father Pat's suburban parish.The yarns, almost parables, present a good man through a lifetime of friendships and loves.

Book Description
Winner of the National Jewish Book Award: The story of how a Catholic priest uncovered the truth behind the murder of more than a million Ukrainian Jews. Father Patrick Desbois documents the daunting task of identifying and examining all the sites where Jews were exterminated by Nazi mobile units in Ukraine in WWII. Using innovative methodology, interviews, and ballistic evidence, he has determined the location of many mass gravesites with the goal of providing proper burials for the victims of the forgotten Ukrainian Holocaust. Compiling new archival material and many eye-witness accounts, Desbois has put together the first definitive account of one of World War II’s bloodiest chapters. Published with the support of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. “This modest Roman Catholic priest from Paris, without using much more than his calm voice and Roman collar, has shattered the silence surrounding a largely untold chapter of the Holocaust.” —Chicago Tribune “Part memoir, part prosecutorial brief, The Holocaust by Bullets tells a compelling story in which a priest unconnected by heritage or history is so moved by an injustice he sets out to right a daunting wrong.” —The Miami Herald “Father Desbois is a generation too late to save lives. Instead, he has saved memory and history.” —The Wall Street Journal “An outstanding contribution to Holocaust literature, uncovering new dimensions of the tragedy . . . Highly recommended.” —Library Journal (starred review)

Book Description
It seems like I have been writing this book most of my life. At first I wanted to write about how much I hated my father for not caring about me and my sister, but deep down all I wanted was an opportunity to tell him how much I loved him and missed him being in my life. I tried my best to tell my father that, but he never heard me. Every time we met he found fault with my clothes, my manners, and always the rest of the family. These attacks became part of his persona and a way of not getting too close to me or anyone else in our family He hated us with every fiber of his being and I could never understand why. What did any of us do to make my father keep away from the whole family and go find himself a new one? It never failed; no matter how many times I tried to connect with my father, Pasquale Caputo, all I ever got from him was Pat Cooper the angry comedian.

Book Description
Working off the hit of Pat the Bunny – and with Pat the Husband already a top-rated spin-off, Nelligan is back at it with Pat the Daddy. It’s a spot-on parody of coping with being a new parent, relayed in a simplistic, tongue-in-cheek manner that’s sure to ring true with any prospective or even seasoned parents. Following on the crib – I mean coat – tails of Pat the Husband comes Nelligan’s parody of what being a father is all about. Portrayed in tongue-in-cheek sarcasm with equally clever illustrations, the book will ring true for all dads.
