Product Description
No matter how old she is, a woman's relationship with her father-whether it was wonderful or painful-had an impact on the person she is today. Her relationship with men, her career and her feelings about herself have all been shaped by her father, whether she realizes it or not. Now, with the help of noted marriage and family counselor H. Norman Wright, women can begin to understand how their fathers had a profound effect on their emotions and behaviors as adults.

 great book November 30, 2008
The book arrived and it was in good condition as stated. It arrived before that estimated delivery date too.
thank you
 Well-intenioned but dissatisfying. July 5, 2008
H. Norman Wright's book is filled with many practical ideas for dealing with our fathers, living or dead. Yes, his slant is distinctly Christian so be prepared if writing about God offends you. (Wright is a professor at Biola University.)
I bought this book to help me sort out some issues I have with my father. Although I adored my father growing up, I had a difficult time coming to terms with his faults especially regarding his emotional distance during my childhood.
I found Wright's book helpful in some aspects. His book features several exercises which helped me clarify my feelings for and expectations of my father. I feel the book was not therapeutic enough, however. I kept reading for a solution to the problem I have but did not find one that satisfied me. All in all, I was a bit disappointed. Perhaps I should have hired a therapist?
One of the final chapters of the book offered very practical confrontation exercises. Wright states that these are not meant to be confrontational but they do approach it.
The letter from a father in the final chapter did not belong in this book. The book is aimed at daughters, not fathers.
 Creepy May 15, 2008

A friend recommended this book to me and what I read was a bit creepy. Lots of things like flirting w/ your father and the whole good touch thing. The books needs to be more about girls relationships w/ their fathers and not our heavenly father. Sneaky attempt at pushing God down peoples throats.
Too religious August 10, 2007

Some of the book is helpful. But all of these books that talk about absent fathers are very geared towards religion and believing in God. If I don't believe in my father a living being it is very hard for me to be expected to believe in a male super natural being. I would really like to find one of these books that are just geared towards psychology.
very informative January 23, 2007
I didn't know how vital was the father in the upbring of his daughter. I am learing a lot with this book and reccomend it to all women who don't have or didn't have a great relationship with their fathers.
