Bridges: Reuniting Daughters
& Daddies
It has been said that a man never knows what love is until he
has a daughter. Of all the bonds between family members, those
between fathers and daughters are often the closest. At the same
time, they can also be the most tenuous.
In her book
Whatever Happened to Daddy's Little Girl? Jonetta Rose
Barras asserts that many women suffer from what she calls
"Fatherless Woman Syndrome," and that it often stays with women
their whole lives. She believes that while the effect of
fatherlessness on boys receives more attention, fatherlessness
has a devastating impact on girls, too.
In her newly released book
Bridges: Reuniting Daughters & Daddies, Barras uses
illustrations pulled from the lives of real women and their
fathers to help point the way to reconciliation between fathers
and their daughters.
Barras joined Glenn on His
Side with Glenn Sacks on June 12, 2005.
