Girls Without Daddies: Filling the Void of a Fatherless Childhood (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780986377068)

For young women who have lacked the influence of a supportive father figure during their formative years, hindrances such as attachment disorder, co-dependence, sexual promiscuity, and feelings of unworthiness may have prevented them from pursuing their life's goals and leading an emotionally healthy life.

Self-initiated emotional transformation is like trying to find your way through the dark in a blindfold and earmuffs. Without the aid of practical tools to help disperse the impediments, it's hard to realize dreams and fulfill desires while haunted by behaviors rooted in the past.

Girls without Daddies identifies many of the harmful behavioral patterns women are locked into as a result of childhood experiences without a positive father figure. Using examples from her own life, as a fellow-sufferer who made it through a successful business career, the author outlines the key thought processes that can help overcome typical self-defeating behaviors to forge a better life - happy, stable and successful in relationships. As a kindred spirit herself, Cindy McPike provides a straightforward guide to emotional healing that is both personal and practical.
