Publisher's Description
A father should be the man by which all other men are measured in the eyes of his daughter. This book is designed to open up discussions between fathers and daughters on the cusp of becoming adults. Too often meaningful conversations between fathers and daughters break down and falter for lack of a focus on the simple things in life. Small conversations, which continually bolster the self-esteem and self-efficacy of the young woman leaving home, may create a space that will allow the relationship between the father and his daughter to remain intact after she has left the home. Robin K. Johnson's experiences with his seven daughters have given him insight into what leads to the disconnect between a father and daughter when she begins to step into womanhood, leaving the image of ''daddy's little girl'' behind. A Daughter's Book of Secrets contains vital information that a father should impart to his daughter. It also opens up areas in which some fathers fear to tread, but where they may meet their daughters as they enter into adulthood.

Enjoy reading A Daughter's Book of Secrets. Pass it on to your daughters, sons, and spouses. Johnson's wisdom is applicable for all of us. And, as you apply the learning, do not miss the opportunity to soak in one man's love for his seven daughters and ponder how he will raise his youngest child, Isaac.”
