Each letter begins with Dear Daddy. A horrible childhood accident required Gayle Hiller to relearn everything. But she would have to relearn it without her famous father, Tony Hiller, who only a year after the accident and shortly after winning the Eurovision with the award winning song "Save Your Kisses for Me" walked out on his family. A well-known songwriter and producer, Tony Hiller was larger than life. The group he founded, The Brotherhood of Man, skyrocketed in popularity. His fame grew around the world. Tony Hiller's work was recorded by over 500 other including Elton John, Olivia Newton-John, Andy Williams, Ray Stevens, The Miracles, The Hollies, Sonny and Cher, The Osmonds, Glen Campbell, Crystal Gayle, Anne Murray, and Ed Bruce. He won three Ivor Novello Awards and a Gold Badge Award for his services to the British music industry. But at home, things were a different story. His daughter fought for his attention, which became harder and harder to get the older she got. As a teenager, she even cut her wrists and was often unhappy. She turned to writing short stories, poetry, and attending writing workshops with her aunt. When Tony remarried and Gayle went overseas, she came back to find her room in the family home repurposed, the things she'd left behind no longer there. Through struggles with mental health, addiction to pills, and financial issues, Gayle needed the love and help of her father. Over and over she reached out, only to be denied and rebuffed. She and her children were not welcome without an appointment, and that only every four to six weeks. She was heartbroken. When her father passed away, Gayle found a way to heal. After turning to pills and trying to sleep through the pain, her friend told her she should write letters to her father to work through her pain and bereavement. And she did. One letter turned into two, and then three, and then more and more. Thus this book was born. Raw, emotional, this chronicle of her journey will touch your heart and make you want to hug your children and your parents and let them know you love them. Tony Hiller may have been a legendary song writer and musician. He gave the world the song, "Save all your Kisses for Me." But after he left her and her family, Gayle soon discovered that there would be No More Kisses for Me.

This endearing tale is about a little girl named Gabby who believes that giving her daddy kisses is what makes him go away. This makes her very sad. So what can Gabby do to make him stay? With colorful illustration and rhyming verse, this sweet and delightful book is sure to warm little hearts.

Daddy Misses Kisses and Candy at War By Kathy Barnes, Ph.D. And Jody Berg Gives parents ways to encourage 'feeling talk' when a daddy or mommy goes to war. "Avoiding feelings makes behavior worse." If you are Cora and are three, four or five years old, life is exciting and full of extremes. You run laughing loudly, and then suddenly you start screaming and crying. Your mom leans over to hug you and you hit her, yelling, "I want my daddy, not you " As Cora's mom, you try not to get your feelings hurt, but you are so tired from taking care of her, the house, and balancing the checkbook by yourself. Why complain? you shrug. I have no choice. My husband is fighting in Iraq. But Cora's behavior is perplexing, painful, and frustrating. When moms or dads read Daddy Misses Kisses and Candy at War with their child, the pictures, story, and questions on the pages will comfort both. Mom and child will learn to put words to feelings. "I'm mad at my daddy, dear Mommy, dear Mommy, I pick up the phone and call Daddy home. I promise, I'll be good and eat yucky food, when he doesn't come home, I'm in a bad mood." Mom asks Cora, "What food do you think is yucky?" and Cora lists lima beans and lemons. Then Mom rocks her, saying, "Come to me Cora, when you're mad, dear Cora, We'll snuggle and cuddle and share with God. Pick up your crayons and squiggle in red. Go you your room and pound on your bed." Cora feels understood and is learning what to do when she is mad. At night, nap time and scary, sad times, moms, dads, and their small children will read and re-read our book and learn how to share feelings. Praise for Daddy Misses Kisses and Candy at War "The children in our preschool program loved the rhyming and repetition and pictures in the book. They kept interrupting, saying, 'My friend Susie's daddy is over in that place too.' They went to lunch singing, 'Come to me Cora, dear Cora, dear Cora.'" - Sherry Clow, director of a preschool program.
