Few of life’s relationships compare to that of a father and daughter. From the first time she grasps his finger to the day he lets her go, their bond deepens. Those dads and daughters who enjoy a close relationship will happily identify with these stories. For others, miles, and sometimes even memories, separate them more than they’d like. These stories of inspiration, hope and healing will rekindle their bond and strengthen their love. Chicken Soup for the Father and Daughter Soul can be a fun and loving tool to increase communication, "saying" what may have gone unspoken.
Chicken Soup for the Father and Daughter Soul inspires dads and daughters to embrace these stories and each other, evoking their own memories and deepening their loveproving that none can liken that of a daddy and his "little girl".
