What I Always Meant to Say: A Father's Letters to His Daughters - Paperback

by Gregory Thomas Walker (Author)

"What I Always Meant to Say: A Father's Letters to His Daughters" is a series of "life lesson" essays created to provide guidance and encouragement to the author's daughters as they transitioned into adulthood. Enveloped in unconditional love and ethical principles, What I Always Meant to Say addresses the important (and often sensitive) topics that are often challenging for parents to discuss with teens and young adults: faith, friendship, love & sex, being true to yourself, managing money, work/life balance and more. Utilizing a combination of Bible verses and African Proverbs, these letters offer practical perspectives on the various subjects and challenges that confront young adults as they proceed with their independent lives. In addition, as an African American, the author addresses finding one's personal sense of "blackness" in today's hyper-media environment. What I Always Meant to Say is ultimately "guidance for a lifetime" presented with the loving care of a committed father, and its messages will provide meaningful "food for thought" and a valuable platform for truly meaningful conversations between parents and their young adult children.
