FROM THE BOOK FAERY REVIEWS...Reading this book made me miss my own dad who passed away in 1993 when I was 15. If only more dad's were this honest and open to share things about life perhaps our girls wouldn't fall into too much trouble or feel closer to their own dad's. I found this book to be an easy read, informational and even gave me ideas on how to talk to my children about different things in life such as friendships, drugs and alcohol, depression, safety, hope, body image - all things that touch a person's life.

I think I was very lucky to have a dad who was very open and honest – we talked about anything and everything with him.
