Bob and Sheila Beckwith had everything: rewarding careers, two wonderful daughters, and a perfect marriage . . . almost perfect. For what Sheila didn’t know was that Bob has once been unfaithful—only once, ten years ago during a business trip to France. What Bob didn’t know was that his brief affair produced a son.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mother of a Man-Child is an entertaining collection of stories about raising teenage boys. Share the experiences of an Australian mother of teenage twin boys, and a young daughter, as she rides the rapids of the adolescent years together (and more often apart) with her sons. Honest, open, insightful and heart-warming, readers will enjoy in equal measure hilarity, empathy and tears, of both laughter and sadness, as the author shares the day to day adventures of living with her sons, the challenges of guiding men-children towards adulthood, insights gained along the way, and heartfelt reflections on Motherhood. The 448-page book is jam packed with anecdotes about teenage boys, and the trials and tribulations of life as it unfolds across every facet of adolescent life, including school, sport, parties, holidays, work, family and more. Mother of a Man-Child has something for everyone, not just parents of teens. It provides a unique first-hand perspective of parenting a teenager, written in a thoroughly enjoyable, entertaining, and easy to read blog style. As one of the men-children himself stated: "200 pages down in your book! Most reading I've done all year! It's really cool to read about my teenage years and see things from your perspective. Truly amazing and generations will love this book."

CHILD: “Doug Moe has written a delightful and helpful book that gives real advice about the Wild West world of raising children.” - Amy Poehler, actress, comedian, and NYT bestselling author of Yes, Please “Moe ‘describes the awed affection new fathers may have for their children with relatable humor and genuine insight, offering a promising resource for the curious and the clueless.’” - The New Yorker “From tackling toddler meltdowns to bringing up baby in any conversation, comedian Doug Moe’s irreverent take on the absurdity of fatherhood is a refreshing read for new dads. It feels like you’re chatting with a friend who admittedly doesn’t know everything, but does know exactly what you’re going through.” - Pregnancy & Newborn Magazine “Wow is it terrific -- funny, smart, relatable, and actually filled with some very good tips, from handling sleepless nights for tips to get rid of your kids’ weird friends on playdates.” - Cool Mom Picks “Yes, it’s just one man’s point of view, but we have a feeling your guy will find more than enough in common with this hilarious dad-in-training.” - PureWow

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This crazy, gorgeous family novel” written at the end of the Great Depression “is one of the great literary achievements of the twentieth century” (Jonathan Franzen, The New York Times). First published in 1940, The Man Who Loved Children was rediscovered in 1965 thanks to the poet Randall Jarrell’s eloquent introduction (included in this ebook edition), which compares Christina Stead to Leo Tolstoy. Today, it stands as a masterpiece of dysfunctional family life. In a country crippled by the Great Depression, Sam and Henny Pollit have too much—too much contempt for one another, too many children, too much strain under endless obligation. Flush with ego and chilling charisma, Sam torments and manipulates his children in an esoteric world of his own imagining. Henny looks on desperately, all too aware of the madness at the root of her husband’s behavior. And Louie, the damaged, precocious adolescent girl at the center of their clashes, is the “ugly duckling” whose struggle will transfix contemporary readers. Named one of the best novels of the twentieth century by Newsweek, Stead’s semiautobiographical work reads like a Depression-era The Glass Castle. In the New York Times, Jonathan Franzen wrote of this classic, “I carry it in my head the way I carry childhood memories; the scenes are of such precise horror and comedy that I feel I didn’t read the book so much as live it.”

Book excerpt: Nothing is more unsettling in this world than a kid with a gun . . . On the streets of Medellín, Colombia, actions speak louder than words, and the rule of the bandidos is the only law worth listening to. Like most kids of their age, Shorty and Alberto work for their local cartel. They run cigarettes, offer protection . . . and occasionally assassinate someone. The work is tough, and dangerous, but the boys are commanding respect like they've never known, and the money's pretty good too. But then one day Alberto disappears. And Shorty realises that he is never coming back. A gangster's life is cheap, and when revenge can be bought for only a few pesos, everyone has their price . . .
