Papa Was A Rolling Stone: A Daughter's Journey to Forgiveness captures the pains of hundreds of thousands of daughters especially in Black America with absent fathers. Prof. Lee E. Meadows of Walsh College describes it as "a stunningly vivid account of a parental void that should resonate with readers" while Oliver J. Johnson, PhD, says it "reminds us of the pain that is generated when fathers are absent and invisible." Author Robin Wright King lived through such pain while growing up without her father in Detroit Michigan but she was able to forgive her father and move on with her life as a loving mother of two, a successful entrepreneur and lecturer.

This review is from: Papa Was A Rolling Stone (Paperback)
this book was a good buy. I had been carrying around the burden of hate for my father for about 19 years and I finally now feel free. It really helped for the first time to have someone articulate how I was feeling. Her experience was somewhat different than mine because her father, fathered multiple children from multiple women, but the feeling of being abandoned is the same. I recommend this book to anyone who is ready to forgive their father for choosing to not be a part of their life. It's a good way to let go of the pain, and grab on to the future.

I could feel her hurt, pain and disappointment. Must have been great catharsis to have written. Must read for both men and women. Reminder about obligation we have to behave responsibly BEFORE and AFTER creating life. Buy for your sons AND daughters. Like another Motown title, remember, "It takes TWO baby .. "!
