Product Description

Celebrating every little girl's childhood hero and the special dad and daughter bond!

From the first time a daughter grasps dad's hand and says her first words, to the day she moves out on her own, the bond between a father and daughter is ever evolving: dad goes from childhood hero, feared inspector of boyfriends, to the sage friend of adulthood. Daughters mature from perfect little angels into rebellious teens to accomplished women who are dad's pride and joy.

Chicken Soup for the Father and Daughter Soul celebrates this wonderful relationship with stories about childhood, the trying years of adolescence, the poignancy of leaving home and even the years when daughters often become caregivers.

The stories in this special volume are sure to evoke the fondest of memories and rekindle the bond between dads and their little girls.

4.0 out of 5 stars What are you waiting for?, March 26, 2006

By	Monty Rainey (New Braunfels, TX) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Like a lot of people, men in particular, I've seen this "Chicken Soup" series of books for years now, but had never read one. That is, until my daughter gave me a copy of CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE FATHER AND DAUGHTER SOUL, as a gift recently. I have to admit, it isn't just filled with mushy stories like I expected, but rather is a collection of various circumstances revolving around the special relationship between a man and his daughter.

These are real stories, written by real people, about real events that are similar to what all father/ daughter relationships go through. This particular volume is broken into 9 different chapters, each covering different components of life's happenings, and each with about a dozen or so stories somehow related to the subject matter of that chapter.

The book is also sprinkled with a handful of cartoon joke pages. The book concludes with a one page bio on each of the five authors and a single paragraph bio on each contributor. This book will make you laugh. It will make you cru. Mostly, it will preserve and strengthen the special blessing in life that is like no other, .... The relationship of father and his princess.

What is the understood miracle about the relationship of a daddy with his daughter or a daughter with her daddy? Jack Canfield shares many precious memories and sweetest moments with these heartwarming recollections that allude to the beautiful mystery of the daddy/daughter connection. From one story to the next, the daddy/daughter heart and soul exudes deepest love so graciously and gratefully. Whether through laughter or tears, the emotions felt from reading these stories brought forth many of my own forgotten memories. WOW!!!Thanks to Jack and Mark for sharing this fantastic collection that, once again, focuses on the best 'stuff' in Life.

Kudos to Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Nancy Autio, Patty Aubery and LeAnn Thieman for compiling the wonderful stories in Chicken Soup for the Father/Daughter Soul. My story, Hidden Wings is included in the book and I am proud to be a part of the Chicken Soup series. Thanks to all of you for giving me the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful episode. All the stories will leave you breathless, yearning for childlike thoughts of the past embracing you with tenderness and love.
