I met my dad for the first time at a funeral when I was 14... Twenty-two years later, he died. This book is about everything in between. As a little girl, I dreamt of one day meeting him.

I met my dad for the first time at a funeral when I was 14... Twenty-two years later, he died. This book is about everything in between. As a little girl, I dreamt of one day meeting him. And when I finally did, the impact was greater than I ever could have imagined. In my adult life, I entered every room, wondering: Do you see me? I hoped a record label could provide me with an identity, success, and approval. Then, I assumed my husband could redeem all my broken and rejected pieces-proving to me, and the world, once and for all, that I was in fact, loved. But no one could give me what I was looking for. Perhaps because they were never intended to. Had they not failed me, I wouldn't have begun to look inward, and stop expecting others to provide me with a sense of self-worth or identity. I discovered that love had always been mine. This is how I began to ask a different question: Do I see you? Miraculously, once this shift occurred in me, my marriage began to heal, and I reconnected with my dad-once again. But this time, it wasn't about being seen. It was about knowing him in whatever time we had left. This book covers a wide range of topics including domestic abuse, abandonment, mental illness, addiction, recovery, suicide, forgiveness, grace, hope, and healing.
