"Someone I briefly worked with about seven years ago gave this book to me, and it just sat on my shelf. Last week I was bored waiting for my library book to come in and finally decided to read it. It focuses only on the father/daughter relationship and the impact dads have in thier dauthers' lives. It was pretty cheesy in a lot of parts, but I was surprised to find that it had some really interesting insights. The author is Christian, so a lot of things he talks about go along with my values/beliefs. I would recommend it to any dads that struggle relating to their daughters, and to fathers and daughters that come from a divorced home. Unfortunately, the dads that need it most probably won't read it."
"We got this when I had Sarah. My mom and I both loved it and Kevin enjoyed it too. I think it's a great resource for a new dad who has little experience with girls and doesn't understand how much they truly effect their daughter's grown up life and relationships."
"i read this as a gift to myself for father's day, to give me some insight on my relationship with my father (which is actually pretty cool these days).
this is a smart book, an easy read, one that i would recommend to absolutely anyone, but it's especially a must for black men who are fathers. way too many women i know see fathers as just a paycheck. in many instances, they don't understand the importance of a father because they've never had one who had a strong presence in their lives. in many instances, even when he was physically present, he wasn't necessarily "there".
so why have a father that's especially involved with your daughter?
because according to this book, it is fathers who give girls their self-esteem/self-worth. girls get a sense from their fathers -- not their mothers -- that they're worth being loved. if the father isn't present in the girl's life to give her this, she will find a surrogate who will. this can mean lousy choices in love for the rest of her life. and of course, this cycle will perpetuate itself when it's time for her to have children.
kids are going to belong someplace. the question isn't whether they'll belong but where. a gang. a basketball team. a boyfriend/girlfriend. but they will belong.
some of it was a little too disney-esque for me -- like him crying his eyes out when one of his daughters left home for college/got married (yeah, he's a cryer) -- but on second thought, maybe the ideal situation needed to be presented so we'd see the male/father and female/mother roles in the home in their proper perspective.
