After her father's sudden death, Alexandra Fuller realizes that if she is going to weather his loss, she will need to become the parts of him she misses most. So begins Travel Light, Move Fast, the unforgettable story of Tim Fuller, a self-exiled British black sheep who moved to Africa to fight in the Rhodesian War before settling as a banana farmer in Zambia.

Approaching his 30th birthday, Sopan Deb had found comfort in his day job as a writer for the New York Times and a comedian. But his stage material highlighting his South Asian culture only masked the insecurities borne from his family history. Sure, Deb knew the facts: His parents, both Indian, separately immigrated to North America in the 1960s and 1970s. They were brought together in a volatile and ultimately doomed arranged marriage and raised a family in New Jersey before his father returned to India alone. But Deb had never learned who his parents were as individuals.

We all have a story to tell. A tale of our childhood. A story of our fathers’ influence in our lives, or lack thereof. Some stories are good and some not so good. But now the roles have changed; you are either standing at the edge of fatherhood or a father already. Your child's story is being written. You have an incredible opportunity to write it with him/her. What tale do you want his/her story to tell? What do you want to be their fondest memories one day? A memory with or without you? Fun Dad will help you turn small moments into lifelong memories.

Are you ready to have kids? More and more gay men are turning to adoption and surrogacy to start their own families.

This book is a celebration of a father’s love. Much is written about a mother’s love, but little, if anything, is ever said about a father’s love for his children, except around Father’s Day. This insightful and thought-provoking book illustrates how a father’s love is forgiving, everlasting, unconditional...and often misunderstood. Using the Christian faith to show that fathers love as deeply as mothers, just differently, the book is designed to create “ah-ha” moments for readers who have previously not identified what the love of a father looks like.
