|  | | Dad Was A Carpenter
Grand Prize winner in the National Self-Published Book Awards sponsored by Writer's Digest!
When Kenny Kemp raised the door to his father's garage six months after his dad's death, he didn't expect to find gold. But what he did find there, buried in the overstuffed workbench drawers, secreted in the worn tool collection, and waiting patiently in a 30-year-old piece of green plywood, was worth more to him than any treasure he could have imagined. A son comes to know of the greatness of his father, a great man who didn't know he was.
A memoir along the lines of "Tuesdays With Morrie." This book touches the heart and reaches the soul. A must for every father and every son. | |  | | Dad Was A Carpenter

Tom Waring, true believer, is in Heaven, but it doesn’t feel like it. Before he died, he promised his wife April (a reluctant agnostic) that if there really was an afterlife, he’d come back and tell her all about it. But Heaven isn’t all angelic choruses, harps and haloes — it’s more like a cross between IBM and the DMV. Tom is issued a cell phone, a day planner, sent to school and given a job. In short, Heaven is more like graduate school than Sunday School.
And when his request to return to Earth is routinely denied, Tom must risk everything— even is very soul— to break out of Heave | |  | | Lightland
