Now in paperback, a bestselling memoir of a family on the home front during World War II World War II was coming to a close in Europe and Richard Haney was only four years old when the telegram arrived at his family's home in Janesville, Wisconsin. That moment, when Haney learned of his father's death in the final months of fighting, changed his and his mother's lives forever. In this powerful book, Haney explores the impact of war on an American family. He skillfully weaves together those memories with his parents' wartime letters and his mother's recollections to create a unique blend of history and memoir. Through his father's letters he reveals the war's effect on a man who fought in the Battle of the Bulge with the 17th Airborne but wanted nothing more than to return home. Haney illuminates life on the home front in small-town America as well, describing how profoundly the war changed such communities. With When Is Daddy Coming Home?, Richard Haney makes an exceptional contribution to the literature on the Greatest Generation—one that is both devastatingly personal and representative of what families all over America endured during that testing time.

As Leeza celebrates her forty-fifth birthday, there is no birthday cake, candles, gifts, or party with family and friends. It’s just her, alone in a prison cell probably for the rest of her life. She contemplates how her life has gone so completely off track, and she recalls how it all began for her as a little girl growing up in Eden Square in the projects. Leeza wishes she could go back to being the little girl with the bad grammar and the big dreams, but it’s much too late for that now. She faces a death sentence. A work of spiritual fiction, Little Miss Sanctified, by author Dr. Louis Timm’s, lets God’s people know they are not alone and that there is that dark side that exists in all. Through Leeza’s fictional story, Timm’s shows Christians that the hand of a loving and living God offers a right sense of worth and direction; God alone knows the end from the beginning. With each and every temptation, God will provide a way of escape only to those who truly want to escape the vices this world so lavishly offers.
