Where's Daddy?: The Mythologies Behind Custody-Access-Support is a stinging indictment of
the Custody-Access-Support oriented judicial system, attacking the five most commonly
employed myths to defend this legal code interpretation resulting in the estranging of divorced
fathers from their children. More than that, Where's Daddy? calls upon a society that vilifies
divorced fathers and separates them from their children to reexamine itself, and recall the
importance on the father's role, one that is currently all too easily pushed aside both by legal
practice and by the popular culture. Where's Daddy? is a strongly worded and highly
recommended clarion call for reform that needs to be heard for the sake of today's children, and
the children of generations to come.

Collaboratively written by Marilyn Graman and Maureen Walsh, There Is No Prince And Other
Truths Your Mother Never Told You is a relationship self-help guide for women in the 21st
century. It is emphatically not a one-sided or male-bashing book; it is a denouncement of the
exaggerated ideal of a "prince," that is, a perfect man who always does everything right. There Is
No Prince shows women the way to accepting that men are human; that men have a greater
natural tendency to forget details than women; and that while most men want to please their
mates (the ones that don't want to aren't worth pursuing), nearly all men need help and that all
women need to speak up and communicate their wants and needs because it is unfair and
self-defeating to expect a man to magically or telepathically know what is going through a
woman's mind. There Is No Prince is an enthusiastically recommended book about taking a
realistic and practical road to true love and contentment.
