Not too long ago, I was at dinner with my husband and some of his business associates. Somehow the subject of "Hollywood children" came up and I confessed that although I was raised in Canada, I was, indeed, the daughter of a "star." "Who?" They wanted to know. "Lorne Greene," I said, really not expecting them to remember who he was. "Wait a minute," one of them said, "I thought he was my father." I am always amazed at the response I get from people about my father. To me he was a very private man with a public persona who happened to be extremely recognizable. To the public, however, he was larger than life, a hero, yet someone with whom everyone felt a certain warm intimacy. Today, some forty years after Bonanza first aired, he is just as recognizable as ever, to all the families who welcomed him into their homes every Sunday night for fourteen years and to all of those who still see him in syndication around the globe.

When Michael Bishope learned he was going to be a father for the first time, his lifelong dream was about to come true. Due to a tragic accident, Michael lost his family as a child, and Michael dreamed of one day having a family of his own. Now that his wife is pregnant, he just couldn't wait. Michael was walking on cloud 9. But soon after he learned of his wife's pregnancy, Michael was hit by a harsh reality; that his wife wanted to abort his child without an explanation. Michael was beside himself with worry and stress. He loved his wife deeply, and for the life of him, he just couldn't figure out why she wanted to abort his child. At the suggestion of his closest friend, Michael decided to take his wife to court to stop her from having an abortion. Fighting for the life of his unborn son, Michael Bishope fights more than just his wife, the courts system, and the world media. It was a fight that he just wasn't ready for. Nobody would ever be ready for a fight like this. When Susan Bishope learned she was indeed pregnant, the life she thought was once buried long behind her came rushing back and brought with it the many altered personalities she once used as a safety mechanism just to survive as a child and a teen. That was until she made her grand escape and buried her past tormented life behind her. She ran as fast and as far as she could and created a whole new world and life for herself. A life that would be pain free with no more abuse, a life that had a future that was far from the place from where she came. But when the one thing she was warned against, the very thing that could threaten any dream of a new happy life confronted her, she knew nothing could stop the events that were to be unleashed onto her new life of happiness and love. In her mind she knew she could never truly be happy anymore, not after this. She knew there was only depression, agony, and at worst case scenario even death for her ahead. Why did she let the one thing happen that she was repeatedly warned against? If she could have only listened, she could have led a long happy life with her new husband she loved so much. Her overall outlook now was very bleak and for good reason. During her last court appearance, Susan has a conversation with a friend who isn't actually there. She had her one-sided conversation in front of her husband, the lawyers, the judge, and the world media. The judge became irate and ruled against her in Michael's lawsuit. In a bittersweet moment, Michael felt victorious, but now he must find the answers to the confusing unanswered questions that are lingering and driving him crazy. In order for him to raise his child, he must cut through the lies and find the answers his wife never told him about. And now on his own, he begins the journey of finding the answers that tore his world apart.

On September 11, 2001, Jeremy Glick boarded United Flight 93 only because a fire at Newark Airport had prevented him from flying out the day before. That morning, he called his wife, Lyz, to tell her the plane had been hijacked and that he and a group of others were going to storm the cockpit, an effort that doomed Glick and his fellow passengers yet doubtless saved lives on the ground and instantly became known worldwide as a heroic moment of resistance. But Lyz wanted the couple's daughter, Emmy, only three months old when the plane crashed, to learn much more of her father's story than just the ending. Your Father's Voice narrates Lyz's struggle to come to grips with her husband's death in a series of letters from Lyz to Emmy that give a wrenching but clear-eyed account of Lyz's first years without Jeremy. The letters also portray the rebellious but charismatic star athlete who became Lyz's high school sweetheart, a national collegiate judo champion, and finally her husband. We see Lyz's medical ordeal as she tries to bring Emmy into the world, Jeremy's tender nurturing of the premature baby, and the agony of his final telephone call from the ill-fated plane. But it is during the first frantic months after the terrorist attack---as she fends off the media and fights to get the truth about what happened on Flight 93---that Lyz realizes that she and Jeremy are still deeply connected, that his love for her and Emmy endures and teaches. Soon Lyz can write to Emmy that she believes it was destiny, not luck, that put a world-class martial artist like Jeremy on an airplane with other men and women who were also determined to fight back. Through it all, Lyz pragmatically details the challenges of a single parent raising a daughter in the aftermath of horrific tragedy, and urges Emmy to listen for what Lyz can still hear when the wind is right: her father's voice.

This book was released on 2016-05-10. The Song Poet available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. From the author of The Latehomecomer, a powerful memoir of her father, a Hmong song poet who sacrificed his gift for his children's future in America In the Hmong tradition, the song poet recounts the story of his people, their history and tragedies, joys and losses; extemporizing or drawing on folk tales, he keeps the past alive, invokes the spirits and the homeland, and records courtships, births, weddings, and wishes. Following her award-winning book The Latehomecomer, Kao Kalia Yang now retells the life of her father Bee Yang, the song poet, a Hmong refugee in Minnesota, driven from the mountains of Laos by American's Secret War. Bee lost his father as a young boy and keenly felt his orphanhood. He would wander from one neighbor to the next, collecting the things they said to each other, whispering the words to himself at night until, one day, a song was born. Bee sings the life of his people through the war-torn jungle and a Thai refugee camp. But the songs fall away in the cold, bitter world of a Minneapolis housing project and on the factory floor until, with the death of Bee's mother, the songs leave him for good. But before they do, Bee, with his poetry, has polished a life of poverty for his children, burnished their grim reality so that they might shine. Written with the exquisite beauty for which Kao Kalia Yang is renowned, The Song Poet is a love story -- of a daughter for her father, a father for his children, a people for their land, their traditions, and all that they have lost.
