Bridges

In her critically acclaimed first book Jonetta Rose Barras broke the code of silence surrounding the devastating impact father absence has on girls and women. In this new self-help book, Barras takes the next step, guiding daughter-and-father duos toward much needed reconciliation, bonding, and healing. With illustrations pulled from the lives of real women and their fathers, plus affirmations and practical exercises designed by the author in association with experts, 'Bridges' is a must read and invaluable tool for girls and women who want to mend the rend in their lives, for men who want to enjoy the special and sacred relationship between fathers and daughters, and for everyone interested in the love that binds us all. 'Bridges' is as much about hurdling the internal obstacles that have kept us away from the place where self-love lives, as it is about bridging the seemingly unbridgeable gap between estranged daughters and fathers. 'Bridges' is thus a practical and insightful book that's needed for our times, our people, and our communities.
