When my girl's dad was suddenly separated from us I struggled with how to keep his values ever present for them as well as how to reassure them of his constant love. The result is this poignant book. From the conversations their Dad and I have had and his many cards and letters I paraphrased the ideas and sentiments most important to him. The narrative is all first-person in his voice and the photos coincide with the ideals he most treasured for his girls.
I hope to use the skills I've learned in this crisis and especially the tools I've developed while writing and designing this book to assist other mothers and fathers as they lead their own families through tough times.
