After Malala was shot by the Taliban, the Yousafzai family was completely uprooted from their home in the Swat Valley and forced to start over in the United Kingdom.

Moving back and forth in time from that day, Riding with the Ghost captures the past's power to shape, strengthen, and distort our visions of ourselves and each other.

I did not find a need to fluff every chapter for the sake of word count. My language will be coarse and my grammar not so good. This is on purpose, because I want my children to recognize that it is me that is speaking and writing the narrative.

Cancer has given Garth Callaghan a new purpose: to inspire parents to connect more with their children even in small ways, as he has done before and since his diagnosis by tucking a napkin note into his daughter's lunch every day. Every morning, as he packs Emma's lunch, Garth adds a little surprise: a "napkin note" - a short, tender message to convey his love, encouragement, and pride.
