This gentle book is written from the perspective of a young child facing loss and looking for answers. It honors the child's questions more than the answers, validating the grief process. It does not advocate a specific religion or worldview but leaves those questions unanswered, focusing on the loss that everyone faces when a loved one dies.
.".. Gil couldn't find Guatemala on a map when committing to the adoption of his daughter. He didn't know anything about starting an international adoption. He didn't know anyone who had adopted internationally. He did have a goal of adopting a child from outside the United States. It wasn't inspired by a mission trip or another experience; it was something he wanted to accomplish. His wife didn't share in the goal nor did many of his friends; however, God turned his goal into a calling - through a nocturnal dream - when his daughter yelled from a mountaintop, 'Daddy, come and get me' "--Back cover.

Fishing with Aaliyah was great. Seeing her excitement even excited me! That entire day was a day of joy. From the time we waved goodbye to Mom and Aarron, to the time we came home with a pail full of fish, we have a fun filled day Ill never forget. Ill view this as one of our special days; like a daughter and Daddy day. Unfortunately, days like this are not often shared with many daughters and their Dads. I can recall the many times my Dad took me fishing and the fun we had. I did the same with my three sons; whether at the local lake or at the New Jersey shore. Fishing proved to be a fantastic day out with Joshua, Kevin, and Terence, regardless how many fish we caught! One of my greatest fishing excursions was when my wife Isabelle, several of our friends, and I went to the beach and fished off shore. We caught so many fish we ate fish for days! The main event was watching Isabelle reel them in. she walked out into the water, cast out with all her might, and by the time she backed up to the dry sand, she was reeling another one in! This was her first time fishing and she caught more fish than each of us so-called experts. Fishing with Aaliyah was very similar. This was her first time too and she caught more fish that I did. I guess she has her mothers knack. I was thrilled to share this day with my daughter. Actually, having Aaliyah with me, made fishing that much more enjoyable. Although she caught more fish than I did, that beautiful sunny day, will be day, neither Aaliyah or I will ever forget. RK Simms
She accepted a humiliating request to save her family business. Her father had tragically died after her pregnancy, and her fiance conspired with her stepsister to chase her out from the Mont family. Returning three years later, she had no choice but to provoke the arrogant man to reclaim her late father's villa. However, she was cornered by the man. Trembling, she said, "Mr Fudd, I didn't mean to offend you..." He pondered for a moment and said, "It's too late, I need compensation." Why was he grdually turning the fake marriage into reality? She blushed but he did not care. Amused, he frowned and stared at her. "You have children, what's the point of being so reserved?" With wide eyes, the cute munchkin standing next to her held her hand and said, "Mummy, I want a little brother!"
