| Father to Daughter Life Lessons on Raising a Girl The best selling book for Dads on loving, shaping, guiding and learning to comprehend their inscrutable little girls. As a former boy, a father immediately understands why his son builds a tower of blocks, calls it a boom crane, and then knocks it down. But why does his daughter build the same tower, call it an ice-cream cone, and then offer a taste? As Harry Harrison, author of the chunky little bestseller Father to Son, would suggest, fathers of daughters should simply enjoy that imaginative treat, and every other she's likely to dream up. |
| Father to Son Life Lessons on Raising a Boy A national best seller, it's filled with wisdom to remind, to teach, and to inspire Dads to be involved in their sons' lives. A young boy doesn't come with instructions. He just comes with boundless energy, spirit, and love, all waiting to be shaped. And one of the powerful forces in the shaping is the wish to grow up to be "just like Dad," who was himself a young boy once. With apologies to mothers and daughters, there's really nothing like the primal bond between a son and his father. |
| Mother to Son Shared Wisdom from the Heart Refreshingly candid, MOTHER TO SON takes an honest look at the amazing highs (and occasional lows) of raising a boy–illuminating why, at the end of the day, it's all worth it. The bond between sons and their mothers is unique and extraordinary–an irreplaceable connection that lasts a lifetime. From his first breath to his first girlfriend, a son throws his mother into a whirlwind of love and patience, guided by the sense of humor that's needed to raise her sweet and rambunctious boy into a strong, caring man. MOTHER TO SON, by Melissa Harrison and Harry H. Harrison, Jr., offers a wealth of insight, wry advice, and tried-and-true wisdom–an indispensable companion for every mom. |
| Mother to Daughter Shared Wisdom from the Heart The extraordinary new book written by Henry and Melissa Harrison. This is the book that mothers and daughters are actually sitting down and reading, laughing over, and crying over together. Divided into sections including The Bonding Years, The Awkward Years, Girls and Success, Girls and Spirituality, and (of course!) Girls and Boys, the book is a treasure chest of wisdom for building and nurturing this most complex of relationships. It's also one of the most easily readable books on mothers and daughters ever published. |
| The Husband Book A Guy's Guide to Marriage A touching and funny manual that provides a healthy mix of wisdom for husbands. Married men weary of gaining insight on how to be a better husband through trial and error-or the well-intentioned advice of misguided friends will welcome the wisdom, humor, and truisms delivered by Harry Harrison in The Husband Book. The Husband Book helps married men demystify some of the most challenging events that husbands face, including adjusting to each other during the honeymoon days, managing money issues, and raising children together. The Husband Book provides a healthy mix of wisdom and laughter to arm husbands with the insight needed to navigate their way through day-to-day challenges. It makes the perfect gift for Father's Day or for the newly married man. |
