From the beginning… our children need us! It makes us feel complete. They need everything; they are solely dependent…on us. Then, what happens? They begin to grow, and moment by moment they stop —needing us— What happened? Where did the time go? How could this happen? They were only in first grade… Before you know it, those teenage years have arrived and now, they really think they don't need you, nor do you know where your beautiful child went! Lisa Hein, a parent herself who has gone through the experience, hands off some words of wisdom to those of you who are wondering these same thoughts. She gives some advice on how not to give too much of yourself, or into the materialistic "wants" of your child. If at least one thing she shares helps, you won’t have to spend your life playing tug of war with your child — instead of simply enjoying their journey to adulthood.

Set in the rugged terrain of Afghanistan, three men from different backgrounds come together for their own individual purposes: to gain fortune, honor and freedom In 1979, the communist government of Afghanistan asked the Soviet Union for help in putting down an insurgency made up of poorly equipped civilians. In December of that year, the Red Army invaded the country, using Kabul as their headquarters. Almost immediately, many countries around the world began to send aid to the beleaguered nation, military or humanitarian, financial or logistical. By 1983, the anti-communist rebels had begun using less conventional means to finance the war with their militarily superior occupiers.

The Flip Side of Glory

Winans, Brandi

Memoirs

An epic adventure which captures the wild beauty of the natural world of wolves, as well as the tainted and complex world of men and, through the inward search of its haunted main character, mingles them together in a tale fraught with terror and tenderness, savagery and serenity. Although the story shifts nimbly between the world of wolves and the world of men, the author also has created a third world–a mythic realm where the two meet on a deeper level–or perhaps one should say "on a higher level"–and that is where the real heart of the story lies.
