52 Things Daughters Need from Their Dads
My little girl is almost two and your book really put things in perspective It makes you look at who you are, who you should be, and who you want your daughter to see.

Two little girls, 10 and 8. I have been thanking God every day for the past week since I saw your book in the airport. Completely inspirational and has driven me to recommit to myself and my family to be a thoughtful and caring presence in their lives.
-Jim, New York
Your book was very touching. I think I even wept at the first few chapters. I am a father to a seven-month-old special girl, and I think it is impossible to do it without God s help. We are on a mission!

My husband and I are reading these books together, and it has been so much fun! I love your style of writing.
