Summary: Catholic Fathers, Catholic Daughters
Comment: As I read this I could not believe it was written by an MD and an expert in the field. This author is a hard core catholic and the book is basically catholic dogma gussied up as help for fathers. She trades on fears every father has to push home her one sided world view of what you need to do. She makes a big deal about being a scientist and needing proof before coming to conclusions yet her references are the flimsy and selectively chosen to drive home her one dimensional worldview. The chapter on God is unbelievable - she says (pg 182) "A man can banter with his friends and colleagues about whether God exists. But a father looks at his daughter and knows." The fact that a supposed scientist and doctor can make such an outrageous sweeping claim is staggering and the lot of her conclusions are similarly based on her own opinions - not fact.
She has a lot of good points, which I assume is why so many people think this book is great, but I can save you the money if you do the following:
1 Love your daughters
2 Protect you daughters
3 Teach by example
An awful book though because she claims to teach fathers about caring for their daughters while pushing her conservative agenda. If she had been up front about that I would have no problem with her book, but her duplicity cannot be condoned.

Summary: Amazing book
Comment: My husband says this book has given him great insight for our daughters 11 and 15.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great book for my husband!
Comment: We've owned this book for over a year, since I bought the summary from ParentsDigest for my husband. I thought it would help my husband understand the importance of his role in our daughter's life - and I was right. He refers to it often, whenever he's feeling like he needs a pointer on how to help strengthen their relationship, or doubting the value of it as she grows older.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Borrow it if you really want to - but don't buy it.
Comment: This book is okay but it is somewhat preachy. She states a lot of her opinions as fact. She does make some nice valid points but somewhat too conservative for everyone's taste.
Overall it's a bit over rated.
My husband wasn't too impressed either.

Summary: Exceptional Book for Fathers
Comment: This book has helped me so much. I have two young daughters and now, I feel like I have a greater understanding of how to love them - even into the teenage years! It meant so much to me that I bought ten copies and gave them to my friends and relatives. Please buy this book for the special father in your life!
