There is a special bond between a father and a daughter, and when that
bond is broken by death, a woman's life can change in profound and
unexpected ways. Clea Simon, critically acclaimed author of Mad House,
explores this crucial meeting point of grief and growth by delving into
her own experience and those of other women to paint an illuminating
portrait of the father-daughter relationship and its lifelong
ramifications. Filled with moving stories of real women, this poignant,
comforting, and insightful book paves the way for all women to make
peace with the past, with the adults they have become, and to
courageously face the question: what happens next?
