Summary: Forget the cover- listen to the insight
Review: For all of you who have enjoyed works by authors such as James Alan McPherson, you will not be dissapointed by this one! The essays afforded in this collection were well arranged and complimentary, dealing with such diversities as retardation, sexual abuse, coming of age, child innocence...bottom line: a father's experience in love. The prolific writers who contributed to this book make the reading enjoyable at least as short fiction...add the truth and emotion of memoir and they become gems. You may not like each of the essays, but the collection overshadows any single dislike.

Summary: Here's a description of the book:
Review: The subject of being a father to a daughter has not been fully addressed before, certainly not with the same emotional weight as that of being a father to a son. Beginning with a father's dramatic account of the birth of his daughter and ending with a hauntingly beaugiful essay by a man taking his daughter on a trip in her first year of college, her second of leukemia, nineteen passionate, articulate writers grapple with what it means to be a father to their daughters.

Summary: cover depicts child in sexual manner. shameful.
Review: Why does the cover depict a child so sexually. It is disgusting and sad that they could not convey a child and her innocence on the cover. Sexualizing daughters on their cover contributes to the sick things being done to innocent children. Was it done to sell more?
