MURRIETA, Calif., June 28, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Nothing could ever weaken the bond between a father and his son. This is the theme behind a wonderful story imagined by author Lt. Gary, who pays his tribute to all fathers and sons with the release of his new picture book, Never Far Apart.
Told in lyrical narrative and awe-inspiring illustrations, Never Far Apart tells a heartwarming story -- about a naval officer's thoughts and hopes for his son while he is at sea -- that beautifully captures the sweet sorrow of the brave men and women serving in the American armed forces worldwide, many of whom have lost their parental rights as a result of their service to their country. Dramatic in its presentation and filled with vibrant artwork provided by Mike Motz, this book is filled with elements of emotions, hope, separation and the undying love between a parent and a child.
Never Far Apart is undeniably a doting father's tribute to the essence of father-and-son relationships that readers should witness. To order a copy, be sure to visit your local bookstore or shop online at Xlibris.com today!
