{"product_id":"2940013157538","title":"Padman: A Dad's Guide to Buying...Those and Other Tales","description":"In this collection of short essays based on personal experiences, Mark Elswick offers humorous episodes about being a man and father. Whether it’s his daughter sending him to the store to buy those…well, things that transforms him into “Padman”; his realization that at forty-two, he is slowly turning into an old man; or his reaction to his middle school aged daughter dating a “man” two years older than her, readers—male and female alike—will find themselves cracking smiles when they aren’t busy laughing out loud.\u003cbr\u003eElswick also has a serious side to him. Interspersed with the comical tales are heartfelt looks into the lives of people who experience a Traumatic Brain Incident (TBI) injury, including his own story of being in a life-threatening car accident that left doctors predicting he would be a vegetable for the rest of his life. With compassion and insight, while retaining his sense of humor, Elswick writes to raise awareness about TBI; a portion of Padman: A Dad’s Guide to Buying…Those, and Other Tales’ proceeds will go to TBI research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  * Readers will laugh out loud at the comical real-life humor\u003cbr\u003e  * Women will marvel in amusement at male misperceptions\u003cbr\u003e  * Men will shyly smile imagining themselves in these predicaments\u003cbr\u003e  * You will understand the capabilities of a Traumatic Brain Injury\u003cbr\u003e  * Indirectly donate to the Brain Injury Association of America\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLearn more at www.MarkElswick.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the Reflections of America series at Modern History Press\u003cbr\u003ewww.ModernHistoryPress.com","brand":"Loving Healing Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47182467891440,"sku":"2940013157538","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013157538_p0.jpg?v=1763577737","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013157538","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
