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?
