"Ever felt the echo of a missing hand in yours? The sting of a chair perpetually empty at the table? In ""You're Your Father's Daughter,"" we delve into the often-ignored realm of father absence, its impact on daughters, and the journey to self-discovery that follows.

From the opening, ""If you think fathers are not important ask any child who doesn't have one,"" we confront the profound influence fathers wield. We dissect the meaning of fatherhood, its inception, and the very question: are fathers truly necessary?

Fr Mark Ndifor OFM Cap,

expertly dissects the complex phenomenon of absent fathers, dedicating chapters to understanding the various types of absences, their prevalence in specific regions like Kenya, and the underlying causes that contribute to this heartbreaking reality.

Challenging societal assumptions, Fr Mark Ndifor OFM Cap explores the limitations of mothers filling the paternal void and asks the crucial question: can a mother truly teach her son how to be a man?

The chapters pulsate with the raw emotions of fatherless children. We hear the echoes of ""Daddy issues!"" the sting of ""Where's my daddy?"", and the constant questioning of why absentee fathers impact daughters more than sons. We tackle the myth of mothers teaching sons how to be men and navigate the complex reality of being ""Your Father's child,"" even in his absence.

But ""You're Your Father's Daughter"" is not merely a lament. It is a beacon of hope, a roadmap to overcoming father absence and forging your own path. Through chapters like ""Making it without a father"" and ""Positive Self-Talk for daughters with absent and unknown fathers,"" we equip you with the tools to heal, to thrive, and to reclaim your narrative.

This book is a powerful call to action for fathers, would-be fathers, and absent fathers alike. It is a reminder of the profound impact they have, and a plea to embrace their roles with love and responsibility.

""You're Your Father's Daughter"" is more than a book, it's a conversation starter, a healing balm, and a celebration of the resilience and strength that blossoms even in the face of absence.

Are you ready to reclaim your story? Dive in and discover the daughter you were always meant to be."
