Publisher's Summary

A loving father is the dream for every child. Not every father is loving.

Fran's father relentlessly abused her throughout her childhood. Yet he was seen within the communities in which they lived as a holy man. Spare the rod and spoil the child was his favorite sermon.

Thousands of miles away, Laura gave birth to a biracial child. Her father nearly killed her and her child in his bigotry.

Where were the mothers who bore these children who were so violently abused by their fathers? Can love be the balm that helps these women find themselves? Can men who had loving examples of fatherhood be the ones to support these women?

Is love enough to lift the sorrow and grief?
