This book shows how not having a dad around can mess with how a girl feels about herself. Some women grow up thinking they not good enough or always end up in bad relationships and don’t know why. The book talks about that in a real way and gives ideas on how to feel better and stop those bad patterns. I think a lot of women could feel seen by this. It can help them start healing and feel like they matter.
