Why this book exists

A focused place to understand what is happening

When Your Father Was Absent is a compassionate, research-informed self-development book for readers navigating loss, grief & healing.

The writing is designed to reduce shame, bring the underlying pattern into view and give you practical ways to respond without pretending that every life follows the same formula.
