Dad's behavior communicates a lot to his son. In traditional families, a son looks up to his dad as a model for his behavior. When a dad creates opportunities for free discussions with his son, the son grows up respecting and trusting him as his model. On the other hand, when a dad becomes authoritarian, lays down rules and regulations for his son without adequate and reasonable explanations or discussions, the son may resent it, feel alienated, and seek other avenues, albeit honorable or dishonorable ones, for answers to his problems. "Sons and Dads: Who will reconcile them," is a fiction-Christian narrative that talks about two sons, their dads, the trials and tribulations they encountered, and finally how they got reconciled. The episodes contained in the book are relevant, if not similar, to what is happening in current times.

Everyone knows the famous story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. The one where a small town Hamelin, in Lower Saxony, Germany,  had trouble with rats until the Pied Piper came to their rescue. He lured the rats away with his magic pipe. When the Mayor of Hamelin refused to pay for his services the Piper retaliated by using his instrument's magical power on their children, leading them away to an unknown place. Fast forward a few years later.  In the Return of the Pied Piper, we find the Pied Piper a castaway, alone, with a rat for a companion, on Tinsel island surrounded by the Invisible Ocean.  What has happened along the way? Why has he returned?  The Return of the Pied Piper is a romantic fantasy novel from debut novelist Michael J Sceptre.   Blog post: http://newlifepastoralcounseling.blogspot.com/2017/11/return-of-pied-piper-author-interview.html#.WiAcwlWnGM8
