Have you struggled to see God fathering you throughout your life? Julie McGhghy began the first Father's Day card she sent to her biological father when she was 14 years old with Hey Dad, It's Me! After meeting him when she was 16 years old, they built a relationship that always seemed guarded. At her dad's funeral, she learned why. Julie's dad felt guilty for having left her and her brother when they were small children and letting another man adopt them. For many years afterward, she mentally constructed letters she would have sent her dad explaining why he didn't need to feel guilty. Julie was not fatherless. God fathered her better than any earthly father could have. Julie is one of millions of people who grew up with a physically or emotionally absent father. If you are one of them, or if you minister to someone who is one of them, then read Hey Dad, It's Me! to learn how God has also fathered you. If you don't feel loved or lovable because your father was not present and didn't love you, read how God loved Julie, and loves you, unconditionally and does all the things you wanted your father to do. If you declare by faith that God is "God the Father," but you are unable to see that God has actually fathered you throughout your life, read Hey Dad, It's Me! Julie will help you see that God is not just your Heavenly Father, but He actively fathers you here and now because He loves you.

From the host of the YouTube channel that went viral—Dad, How Do I?—comes a book that’s part memoir/part inspiration/part DIY. Rob Kenney’s father left him and his seven siblings when he was fourteen years old, and the youngest had to fend for themselves. He wished that he had someone who could teach him the basics—how to tie a tie, jump-start a car, unclog a drain, use tools properly—as well as succeed in life. But he and his siblings had to figure these things out on their own. Now a father himself, Rob decided that he would help people out by providing how-to tips as well as advice—and even throw in some bad dad jokes. He started a YouTube channel for anyone looking for fatherly advice, and in the course of three months, gained a following of nearly 2.5 million subscribers, with millions of views for his how-to and inspirational videos. In this book, Rob shares his story of overcoming a difficult childhood with the strength of faith and family, and offers inspiration and hope. In addition, he provides 50 practical DYI instructions (30 of which will be unique to the book), illustrated with helpful line drawings.

In this hilarious debut novel, painfully shy Anna is thrust into the spotlight—and onto the cover of every tabloid—when her father marries one of the world’s most famous actresses. Everyone wants to be famous…don’t they? Anna Huntley had very simple goals in life: 1. To recreate famous film scenes with Dog (her pet Labrador) such as the lift from The Lion King during that “Circle of Life” song. 2. To not accidentally set Queen Bee Josie Graham’s hair on fire (again). 3. To keep her very first and only two school friends by not acting in her usual manner of socially inept dork and outcast. 4. And to find out whether points 1 and 2 constitute being socially inept or an outcast. But after her dad gets engaged to one of the most famous actresses ever and she unexpectedly becomes famous, she has to add a new goal to her list: 5. To find a closet to hide in with Dog (preferably for life). With the paparazzi moving in and the cool crowd being friendly for the first time ever, Anna must figure out who her real friends are—before her awkwardness is exposed to the whole world.

Jill Ciment weaves an unforgettable tale of survival, compassion, and courage, in this haunting recollection of a child surrounded by confusion and madness, and her struggle to find an identity. Half a Life traces Jill Ciment's family from Toronto to the California desert—a landscape and culture so alien to her father that the last vestiges of sanity leave him. As madness engulfs him he becomes increasingly brutal and the family, grasping at survival, throws him out the door. Having no understanding that he has done anything wrong, he first lives in his car at the end of the driveway, waiting to be invited back in, before exiting completely from their lives. Poor and fatherless, Ciment spends the years from age fourteen to seventeen, as a gang girl, a professional forger, a stripper, a corporate spy, and finally, a high school dropout who by age eighteen has seduced her art teacher, a man nearly three decades her senior and bluffed her way into college in an effort to shape a future. Ciment is cutting, insightful and clearly unapologetic as she details the confusion and bravado of a child heroine whose dreams and tenacity allow her finally, to create the life she has been so desperately seeking.

Opposites attract…and we’re complete opposites in every way. Hope Walker is quiet, studious and someone I have overlooked for far too long. But when I crash her study session in the library it’s clear she knows exactly who I am. It would seem that my playboy reputation precedes me, and for once, I wish it wouldn’t. Because the more I get to know the girl hiding behind the books, the more I want her. After she helps my friends and I out, I wonder how I could have been so blind to what’s been right in front of me all along. My friends are my family, like brothers, but our bond is stronger than blood—and that bond is currently being tested.

A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year A Rainbow Book List selection A YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults selection A witty, wise, and heart-wrenching reimagining of Beauty and the Beast that will appeal to fans of Rainbow Rowell and David Levithan. Tall, meaty, muscle-bound, and hairier than most throw rugs, Dylan doesn’t look like your average fifteen-year-old, so, naturally, high school has not been kind to him. To make matters worse, on the day his school bans hats (his preferred camouflage), Dylan goes up on his roof only to fall and wake up in the hospital with a broken leg—and a mandate to attend group therapy for self-harmers. Dylan vows to say nothing and zones out at therapy—until he meets Jamie. She’s funny, smart, and so stunning, even his womanizing best friend, JP, would be jealous. She’s also the first person to ever call Dylan out on his self-pitying and superficiality. As Jamie’s humanity and wisdom begin to rub off on Dylan, they become more than just friends. But there is something Dylan doesn’t know about Jamie, something she shared with the group the day he wasn’t listening. Something that shouldn’t change a thing. She is who she’s always been—an amazing photographer and devoted friend, who also happens to be transgender. But will Dylan see it that way? Praise for Beast: "Writing smartly in Dylan’s voice, Spangler artfully represents both main characters: the boy who feels like a freak and the witty, imperfect, wise trans girl he loves. Very lightly borrowing on the classic fairy tale, she allows them to fail and succeed without resorting to paper villains or violent plot points to manipulate compassion. A believable and beautiful human story.” —Kirkus Reviews, Starred review "Spangler’s captivating portrayals of Dylan and Jamie offer piercing insight into the long, painful battle to shatter stereotypes in order to win dignity, love, and acceptance.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred review
