“Those searching for a moving Father’s Day gift need look no further.” —Publishers Weekly Men like John Wayne and John Lennon, Nolan Ryan and Bruce Lee, Cesar Chavez, Christopher Reeve, and Miles Davis have touched the lives of millions. But at home, to their children, they were not their public personas. They were Dad. Maybe Davis didn’t leave the office at five o’clock to come home and play catch with his son Erin, but the man we see through Erin’s eyes is so alive, so real, so not the “king of cool” (he taught his son to box, made a killer pot of chili, watched MTV alongside him) that it brings us to a whole new appreciation for the artist. Each of these forty first-person narratives—intimate, heartfelt, unvarnished, surprising, and profoundly universal—shows us not only a very different view of a figure we thought we knew but also a wholly fresh and moving idea of what it means to be a father.

A Child's Fading is the unforgettable story of a young girl named Marina who was raised under the strict Soviet Union Russian Baptist religion and discipline""the game of catch and release. She was living with a mother who uses the term "forgive and forget" to lure her child in just to beat her out. She was in an emotionally abusive game resulting with conclusions of bruises, welts, and blood. A mother was all she had plus the threat of hell and what would happen if she didn't follow the rules. She had to play her mother's game. The police would be called many times never seeing the ferocity of the abuse. They would check the home to make sure nothing was rotten and spoiled and that the child had a clean room, but what they missed was the skin of the child and could not see was the scarring developing within. The neighbors would hear the constant screams, and police would come, but neither would say or do anything resulting with the continuation of mother's games. She had no one to turn to. No one believed her. Throughout the games, what her mother didn't realize was that every time she beat her out, she was pushing her toward other families that had loving mothers. She would often see what a true mother looked like. These other mothers became her reason to live in the hopes for finding a true love. Through each game, you'll endure her thoughts of hope to continue and struggle to not give up, to forgive and forget, and finally get away. This story will show you the truth about physical and emotional child abuse and the scarring that leads to their futures, the strength children have to break the chains from their abusive parents so they can build themselves a brighter future.

"Well, I've been waiting for you. So, tell me, what's the reason for the honor of having the lady herself come to my apartment?" He asked, a strange familiar glint in his eyes as he eyed me up and down, noticing everything as he raised his glass to his mouth taking a sip of the whiskey-the same one Jacob always had. "You asked for one night, right?"I cut straight to the point, "If I spend the night with you, will you return everything you have unfairly taken from him through your false reports in the media?" "Yes, Bella Dona," he replied, rising from his seat with a sly grin, coming closer to me. So close that I could feel his breath on my skin, "I'll return everything to him," his cold rings grazed my skin as he traced my shoulder down to my finger, where he noticed my ring with Jacob's initials. "However, there's one thing I can't return to him," he fixed his gaze on my face. "You." "It's just for one night, Tyler. I'll never be yours." *** Upon our arrival in Italy, none of us gave a second thought to the idea that Love in Italy might differ from how we were in America.
