What a lovely, lovely book! Though I’ve read all you’ve written, this one really touched me. It is, of course, a love letter to your daughters, which is not only a wonderful, meaningful thing to do, but it was filled with exactly the kind of advice all fathers should give. Your new book will stay on my shelf for a long, long time, and I’ll be giving it to my own kids to read.
— Nicholas Sparks , author of The Notebook, Dear John, and The Last Song
