In this heartwarming celebration of father-daughter relationships, the New York Times bestselling author of Why a Daughter Needs a Dad captures the important roles fathers and daughters play in each other's lives. From the protectiveness and strength a dad provides to the unfettered adoration that can be found only in a daughter, the unique qualities of this special bond are illustrated through real-life stories of daughters and dads and accompanied by beautiful photographs. It's for every dad who longs to return to the days when his daughter anxiously awaited his coming home from work. And it's for every daughter who misses the days when her father carried her up to bed or taught her how to dance on the top of his shoes. This book reminds us all that no matter what, there is and always will be a place for daddy's little girl.

The relationship between father and daughter is one that almost defies description. Begun and nurtured in love, the relationship strengthens daughter and dad and brings out the best in both, softening the edges of fathers and providing strength and security for their daughters. The warmth of quiet—and exuberant—hugs and laughter, the comfort of familiarity, the creation of a history from which both dad and daughter may draw—all this and much more express the rich relationship that exists between fathers and daughters.

Why a Daughter Needs a Dad is one father’s loving reflection upon what he brings—or hopes to bring—to his daughter’s life. “When I sat down to write,” Gregory E. Lang observes, “I wanted to express the essence of what I think is unique about the relationship my daughter and I share.” He began to think of the things they had done together and how important their moments together have been. He thought of what sort of wisdom he could impart by virtue of a strong relationship, how their years together could provide a bond that would guide her as she grew into womanhood. “The first time I read what I had written,” he writes, “I saw a list of what a daughter might ask her father to do for her. The second time I read it I saw a list of all that I hope to do for my daughter.”

The result is a book that will inspire fathers to embrace the important role they hold in their daughters’ lives, to provide them with the love, nurture, and support they seek, and to enjoy the blessings that are reciprocated in kind.
