 Dads
& Daughters
How to Inspire, Understand, and Support Your Daughter When She's Growing Up
So Fast
Joe Kelly
"Dads and
Daughters should go on the required reading list of every one of us dads
who want to raise healthy and strong daughters."
"Joe Kelly defines the landscape for fathers and daughters in the
treacherous domain of America today. He also offers the testimony of other
travelers, a map and a first aid kit to help families make it to safety.
This book is an essential aid for the fathers of adolescent girls."
---Mary Pipher, author of Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of
Adolescent Girls
"Joe Kelly points the way for fathers to help raise empowered and healthy
daughters---a longtime feminist goal. Dads and Daughters is must
reading for men and women alike who want to change the world their daughters
will inherit."
---Leslie R. Wolfe, Ph.D., president of the Center for Women Policy Studies
"Dads and Daughters should go on the required reading list of every
one of us dads who want to raise healthy and strong daughters."
---David Walsh, Ph.D., President and Founder, National Institute on Media
and the Family
"Dads and Daughters does what a good advice book should do: respect
its readers while offering them real guidance and help. Joe Kelly knows it's
tough to navigate the passage from girl to woman in our culture, and he
knows that fathers can make a big difference in their daughters' lives. He
is able to laugh at himself, to reveal his own struggles, and to empathize
with the fathers he's addressing. But he holds his readers to a high
standard because he knows how important fathers are. Dads and Daughters
challenges and invites fathers to listen-to their daughters, of course, but
also to each other. This is a book that will make fathers want to
learn how to stay close to their daughters, and it is a book that will show
them how."
---Susannah Sheffer, author of A Sense of Self: Listening to Homeschooled
Adolescent Girls
