A Father is more than just the sum of his parts. He is the very soul of the family his love is eternal and without end. So every effort to thank him is just like a drop of water in an ocean. We realize that we children owe an enormous debt towards these hidden rost heroes. "Father: The Hero of Life" is not only an anthology where all the co-authors have penned down few poems, this is a collection of beautiful poems based on father's love, care, concern, and so on. We writers have showcased our love and gratitude towards our darling fathers.

This book chronicles fifth and sixth grade writers in a poor, culturally diverse, rural school in the southwest US coming into their voices, cultivating those voices, and using those voices in a variety of venues, beginning with the classroom community and spreading outward. The big ideas of official and unofficial portraits are presented, followed by data and facets of the theoretical construct of counterportraits in each chapter, as a response to official portraits.

Four sections of stories -- each honors Dad as a protector, a provider, a leader and inspirational role model.

A Homecoming Romance Ten years ago Ann Billings left her Oklahoma ranch behind and headed to the big city. But when her ailing father needs her to temporarily run the spread, she's back—successful, accomplished…and engaged. She's got her whole life on track—but she never planned on Dean Pryor or his gap-toothed five-year-old son. Years ago the farmer would've done anything to be noticed by Ann, and it seems nothing's changed. His feelings still run deep, and this time his boy's fallen for her, too. Now Dean faces a most daunting task: showing Ann that their little trio may not be what she'd mapped out…but it's exactly what she's always needed.

Revised and updated with six new chapters and many new photographs following his death at age 94, this is the definitive account of George H.W. Bush's life and career written by his only daughter with his full cooperation. Much happened to George H.W. Bush and the country since the initial publication of My Father, My President: His nemesis, Saddam Huessin, has been captured and executed. And while his son George W. Bush has left the White House, his grandson George P. Bush serves as the Commissioner of the Texas General Land Office. As author Doro Bush Koch did for the 2006 edition, she again has contacted hundreds of the late President's friends and associates, conducted scores of interviews with dignitaries; tapped the memories of family members, including her late mother, her four brothers, and of course, her late father himself; and collected new information from the former President's never-before released files. This memoir offers fascinating details about his tenure as head of the Republican National Committee during Watergate, Ambassador to the U.N., America's liaison to China, and Vice President for eight years under Ronald Reagan. Doro shows how the 41st President felt when two of his sons entered politics. She also sheds new light on the unlikely friendship with the President's once-rival Bill Clinton and former President Barack Obama. Distinguished by its many first-person accounts, never-before-published photos, and a foreword by the late Barbara Bush, My Father, My President is at once the history of a great man, and the chronicle of a rapidly changing nation.
