Love You, "Daddy Boy": Daughters Honor the Fathers They Love edited by Karyn McLaughlin Frist (Taylor Trade Publishing, $19.95)
"This project has grown from a small idea to a wonderful gift--not only to the women and fathers who have contributed, but also to anyone who has shared this special relationship with their father. No matter what socioeconomic background, country, or profession the contributors have come from, the undercurrent remains a steadfast love of their dads.
First ladies, U.S. senators, a governor, Hollywood actresses, Grand 'Ole Opry artists, Olympic gold medalists, the most-winning women's basketball coach in the country, and an American soldier describe the foundation their fathers gave them to dream and reach for the highest star--often overcoming great obstacles and surviving because of their father's love and unwavering support for them.
Women from five countries and more than twenty states have opened their hearts to give us a peek into their lives with their fathers. Daughters of a U.S. president, a Holocaust survivor, baseball Hall of Fame legends, a NASCAR driver, a New York fashion designer, and a hero from 9/11 share lessons learned--not always easy--and tender moments with their fathers." --excerpted from the book's introduction
