“How lucky for present and future generations of fathers and daughters that Alicia Elatassi and her own wonderful father have taken the time to thoughtfully present some of their own experiences as a practical, accessible, and inspiring series of “lessons” for father-daughter pairs. You’ll find their advice more than helpful, more than reasonable, and more than fun. It is deeply, deeply healing in a world that sorely needs the healing of relationship within families.
