Overcoming Father Wounds

Christian Living

“Be prepared to be tenderly pried open by Kia Stephens’s Overcoming Father Wounds. I heard myself on the pages, ‘It’s complicated.’ I thought describing my relationship with my own father in those words along with its complex explanation and emotions were mine alone to bear. Kia’s book revealed a diagnosis I didn’t know I had and provided the language and community I had been unknowingly yearning for. Her words were both confronting and comforting in ways I did not know my heart and identity needed. I felt seen, I felt safe, and I felt whole.”
