Chapters include:A Subject I Can Speak of: ?My Father Died When I Was Three?A Subject of Research: The Father-Daughter RelationshipA Parody of Incest: Women Who Never Knew Their FathersA Face Not Even a Father Could Love: Daughters of Paternal SuicideMy Mother?the Widow, the Divorcée?Myself: Mother as Head of the HouseholdMake Room for the New Daddy: StepfathersIt?s the Child That Makes the Woman: Self-image and OthersA Match Made in Heaven?or Elsewhere: Attitudes Toward Marriage and the FamilyWomen with Wounds That Will Not HealAnd more!As a group, they express their insecurities (?Sometimes I wonder if I?ll ever be able to love a man totally . . . because that would mean I didn?t love my father anymore.? ?Leslie).
