Helping my new adopted daughter

My daughter does a great job pretending it's ok, but after listening to this book, I realize it's not. The book delves deep into the psyche and finds the little things that seem to add up to bigger things and cause troubles with relationships. I have no idea what it's like to grow up with an absent father, but my new adopted daughter did. I found this book to better understand what she is going through and how powerful having a father around is

Honest and supportive

I found this audiobook, thoughtful, and easy to listen to. It does a good job of explaining how growing up without a father can affect daughters in different ways, both emotionally and in relationships. What I appreciate it most is that it didn’t just focus on the impact, but also offered helpful ways to work through those feelings and start healing. The author’s tone felt understanding and supportive throughout. I finished the audiobook feeling more aware and more hopeful. It’s a great lesson if you’re looking for clarity and encouragement around this topic. It really helped me.

Impactful

A very well-done book on a tough topic. The tone is appropriate so that the information does not feel too heavy. It's a very constructive audiobook that doesn't just dwell on the negative ways your life might have been impacted (some you might not have connected to your father's absence), but it also gives tools to succeed and truly be at peace with this absence. It's a very hopeful listen that I highly recommend to anyone looking for some closure and to move forward productively.

Finally Felt Seen and Understood

Listening to this brought up a lot of emotions I didn’t expect but in a good way. It felt like someone finally put words to things I’ve felt for years but couldn’t explain. The voice was warm and steady which made it easier to sit with the harder parts. I paused a few times to reflect or just breathe through certain chapters. I didn’t feel rushed or judged which made all the difference. After finishing it I felt lighter like I had a better understanding of myself and where some patterns really came from.

As a Dad, This Hit Me Hard!

Listening to this book as a father opened my eyes to things I hadn’t fully considered. It made me think about the kind of emotional impact my presence—or absence—can have on my daughter’s life. The stories, research, and real talk made it clear: being physically there isn’t enough. I need to be emotionally present too. This book wasn’t just for daughters—it was a wake-up call for fathers. Every dad needs to hear this. Your presence matters more than you know.

Eye-Opening and Healing

The insights were incredibly validating, and the guidance on healing felt practical and achievable. I appreciated that it didn’t just focus on the past but offered real steps to move forward. The narration is calm and engaging, making it easy to absorb. If you’ve ever struggled with the effects of an absent father, this is a must-listen.

I Got This for a Loved One

I gave book to a relative who has struggled for years with the impact of growing up without her father. She told me this book spoke to her like nothing else had.
