What is she thinking? Being pregnant, single and expanding her business? No doubt about it, Lucy Basso's hands are full. As if that's not enough, hottie Dominic Bianco is showing more than a little interest in her. Even her impending motherhood doesn't seem to faze him. In fact, he's acting as tender and protective as if she were carrying his baby. But something seems to be keeping Dom from fully committing to her. If Lucy could only know what it is, she might understand. Or maybe she'd tell him it doesn't matter. Because she knows he's a good man and he'd make an ideal father.

John Price appears to have thrown in the towel. He has spent the last year struggling to support his family, neglecting to spend time with his wife and children, and becoming increasingly cynical about the degraded state of the natural world around him. After a heart-attack scare, however, his wife demands that he start appreciating all the "good things" in his life: their mouse-infested old house, their hopelessly overgrown yard, and most of all, the joys and humiliations of parenthood. In his quest to become a better father, Price faces many unexpected challenges—like understanding his grandmother’s decision to die, and supporting his nature-loving sons’ decision to make their home a "no-kill zone" for all living creatures. Still he finds the second chance he was looking for—to save himself and, perhaps, his small corner of an imperfect yet still beautiful world.

You don't have to learn everything about genetic genealogy before asking specific questions of your DNA! That's the premise of Diahan Southard's brand new book, Your DNA Guide - the Book, now available for pre-order at a special sale price. Your DNA Guide - the Book is like no other genetic genealogy book on the market. Instead of learning more-than-you-need-to-know in textbook style, you'll choose a specific DNA question to start exploring right away. You'll follow concrete step-by-step plans, learning important DNA concepts--in plain English--as you go. Do you want to learn who your 2X great grandmother is? Turn to page 23. Do you want to know how you are related to one of your DNA matches? Page 37. As you proceed, you check your progress and get new guidance based on your specific results at each stage. (Including troubleshooting, like when your matches just aren't responding or your great-grandparents turn out to be first cousins.) This powerful, hands-on approach is based on Diahan's 20 years of experience in the genetic genealogy industry and especially in the past five years, as she helps clients one-on-one make DNA discoveries. It became clear to her that while each client's situation may be unique, there are patterns in how you can find solutions that you can apply yourself. Your DNA Guide - the Book is for anyone who has taken a DNA test or may want to. It helps genealogists reconstruct family trees. It helps adoptees identify biological relatives. It can help you identify a specific DNA match. In short, it helps anyone explore what their DNA--and their DNA matches--can tell them about their origins.

"This book investigates the impact of absent - physically or emotionally - and inadequate fathers on the lives and psyches of their daughters through the perspective of Jungian analytical psychology. It tells the stories of daughters who describe the insecurity of self, the splintering and disintegration of the personality, and the silencing of voice. It is relevant for those wanting to understand the complex dynamics of daughters and fathers to become their authentic selves and essential reading for those seeking understanding, analytical and depth psychologists, therapy professionals, academics and students with Jungian and post-Jungian interests"--.

“Like the YouTube channel, this is a touching yet informative guide for those seeking fatherly advice, or even a few good dad jokes.” — Library Journal

"It is now thought by psychologists that a children cannot be any more intellectual that its ancestors. If this is true, the world may never have heard of Abraham Lincoln. In his fascinating book, Abraham Enloe of Western North Carolina: The Natural father of Abraham Lincoln, Don Norris contends that the illiterate Tom Lincoln, long thought to be Abe's dad, could never have sired the sixteenth president of the United States. The author goes on to proffer that the science of eugenics and heredity now demand for President Lincoln a far superior ancestry to the 'sub-normal' Thomas Lincoln."--Back cover

Jesus' Biological father was Joseph, according to the New Testament. The birth narratives from Matthew and Luke's gospels were written just ambiguously enough that Jesus' birth story could be interpreted as describing a biological relationship between Joseph and Jesus. If Jesus was indeed described as the natural son of Joseph, this could be a game changer in the Jewish community, as we now have possible historical evidence of Apostle Peter defending the Jews against Rome, undetected, for nearly 2000 years, as he said he would, according to Jewish rumor." DS Waggoner. "So, before I address your questions, allow me to remind you of God's command to Abraham, that he bind his son Isaac as a sacrifice. Abraham understood this to be a command to sacrifice Isaac, which was clearly the intention of the test. Nevertheless, God's word was fulfilled by the mere act of Abraham binding Isaac. That's not what "to bind as a sacrifice" normally means but it's an equally valid way of understanding those words. Sometimes words can have two meanings." -Rabbi Jack Abramowitz OU Torah Content Editor
