This Tale is more than a Tall one of giants in Ireland in the 17th century. Brian McDare was twelve, the son of giants, but he was not a giant. He felt very inadequate because of his size, but made up for it through over-achievement in all his skills. His paltry size did not deter him from being an excellent swimmer and bare-handed fisherman. Nor did it slow him down in the chase to hunt rabbits and deer with Clan, his Irish wolfhound. Brian was, for sure, mature beyond his years. His close knit family, grounded in faithfulness, love and trust in God, gave strength to Roe, his mother, Aidan, his father, Granda, his grandfather, and of course to Brian whose strength was forever put to the test. Brian overcomes fear when he is challenged with, what he thinks is impossible. He out smarts the Wild Irish Hares, rescues a buried giant, saves a runaway giant lad from Scotland and all the while questions Granda's words, "the McDares are giants of deeds." Brian's journey continues to take turns until he is nineteen. Then comes the big turn.

I am a lesbian and very proud of whom I am but if you don't like Gay people then I suggest you go read something else, however; I would like you to read on regardless of your fear of the unknown.Just because I am gay I shouldn't be judged in anyway; on the contrary; I should be rewarded with a medal with what I've been through. The judgement and criticism from fucked up ignorant people nearly broke me but I rose above all their shit and I feel sorry for those who are not as strong as I. Let's face it; there is no denying Gay people are everywhere and those that live in fear or denial class us as dirty and disgusting perverts or even sickos for that matter. No wonder a lot of Gay people are so against heterosexuals. How many people out there of whom you know or even love suspect they are Gay but they can't come out due to being ridiculed? How many of them have committed or contemplated suicide because they felt the world and those close to them wouldn't or couldn't accept them? This is so very sad. Not one should be made to feel this way because of someone's fucked up insecurities and beliefs. As far as I was concerned, I wanted to love someone just like everyone else, regardless whether it was the same sex. It's what was in my heart and I wasn't going to let anyone stop me, even though some tried. I held my head high and I walked tall, it was my wall and I did what wanted, behind it!To begin with this book will take you back through my personal struggles I had as a child which was being molested three times by three different men and the violence I witnessed and then experienced first-hand as I got older. This certainly played a big part in my life and caused chaos in every relationship I have had within the past thirty years. If you thrive on craziness, laughter, frustration, sadness, love and betrayal then this is the book for you. I did however shed many tears writing this book but I also laughed at my own stupidity. I hope you enjoy my story and God bless.

When he was just a kid, author James A. Harrell Jr.’s parents divorced. As a youngster, he couldn’t understand why his father never came to see him or his brothers or provide sustenance for their well-being.

He intimately shares what his life was like, and he offers scriptural-based testimony on the important role a father plays in the rearing of his children. A blend of fiction and nonfiction, Harrell offers poetry, narrative, and a collection of interviews to underscore a man’s responsibility to his family by spending quality time—depositing wisdom, knowledge, instruction, and understanding into their hearts.

Dan Bollom believes there are no unimportant jobs. Thus, there are no unimportant people. In this refreshingly honest memoir, Bollom relates how this down-to-earth philosophy shaped his success in life. Throughout his early years in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Bollom experienced first-hand the difficulties and sacrifices of the Great Depression and World War II, but he also enjoyed the simple pleasures of life. Whether it was the circus coming to town, hunting and fishing near their Spring Brook shanty for the family meal, or participating in the local softball team, Bollom learned valuable lessons about hard work, dedication, and the necessity of laughter. Bollom's persistence and drive to succeed paid off. He graduated from college and landed a job at Wisconsin Public Service as an accountant. With steady determination, he moved up the ranks through the years, married and had a family, and never lost sight of his goals, eventually achieving the rank of president and CEO of the company, a position he retired from in 1997. Candid and humorous, What Makes Dan Bollom So Tall? intimately shows how one man's success was not an end, but a never-ending journey.
