Favorite Quote: “I wanted something else from him. I was his grown daughter, but I wasn’t finished being his child.”~Bebe

This book opens with us knowing the authors father was a paraplegic from the moment they were ten months old and that sets us up for a honest ride about fatherhood and bonding. As Bebe and her older cousin Michael navigate life without a father or a summer father as some would say. You get a look at how little Blacks Kids are greatly affected by the lack of fathers consistently being involved in their lives. This book needs to be required reading for any Black Man that is considering having children, so they know how great their presence needs to be in their child’s life.
