Summary

In a world where many men struggle to understand their purpose and responsibility, Michael Herrmann delivers a passionate wake-up call that's both deeply personal and unflinchingly honest. "What Do You Mean You Can't Park Here?!" begins with a simple metaphor—a driver refusing to move from a hospital entrance—that illuminates a profound truth about modern America: we've forgotten what it means to sacrifice for others.
 
Drawing from his grandfather's WWII heroism, his experience in public safety, and his journey as a father, Herrmann confronts the crisis of family breakdown and moral decline head-on. With straightforward wisdom, he tackles tough questions about fatherhood, freedom, faith, and the pursuit of happiness in a society that often prioritizes self-fulfillment over responsibility.
 
This isn't just another book about being a better person—it's a roadmap for men to reclaim their vital role as protectors, providers, and moral leaders in their families and communities. Herrmann weaves together powerful personal stories with evidence-based insights on parenting, mental health, and the impact of nutrition and substance abuse on family well-being.
 
Whether you're a father seeking to leave a meaningful legacy, a husband working to strengthen your marriage, or simply someone concerned about America's future, this book challenges you to rise above cultural expectations and embrace the hard but rewarding work of loving others more than yourself.
 
If you enjoyed "Wild at Heart" by John Eldredge, "Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters" by Meg Meeker, or "Kingdom Man" by Tony Evans, you'll love "What Do You Mean You Can't Park Here?!"

    What can we recover after a life passes on? 
     
    A novel about love, forgetting and remembering. Pansy Lim, a Peranakan  girl,  was brought up in a seaside village in colonial Singapore in the 1940s. 
     
    She inherits her mother’s love for flowers, nature, the sea, and their healing qualities. Educated by English nuns, she learns and grows to love English, literature and poetry. 
     
    We see her at the start of the novel, aged, forgetful, and desperately clinging to memories of her recently deceased husband. 
     
    Through her recollections, she remembers George Chan, the village life that they shared, and the communal past left behind by a nation always on the move. 
     
     
    “When I pick up one of Josephine Chia’s books on Singapore’s past, I always know that I’m in for a treat. Josephine brings her readers back to the Singapore of the 1950s and 60s that she grew up in and, in her simple, accessible prose she realistically evokes its sights and sounds and smells. In doing so, she helps us to re-live and re-imagine those days and, in singing her song, she helps us to sing ours.”  
    −Angeline Yap, poet and author of “Closing My Eyes to Listen”
