Many judgmental assumptions.
At first glance, this book seemed to be exactly what I needed. However, the author's assumption that a bad father equals a bad impression of god, or even the rejection of a god, is her own belief. While spirituality has its place in our lives, not everyone turns to organized religion for their answers. Drew should learn to keep her religious beliefs out of writing that appears to be research-based and academic. I will pass the book along to someone else, if I don't simply return it.

The first book that helped!
I've been through years of Adult Children of Alcoholics, writing groups, private counseling and more. I've read every self-help book there is. This is the FIRST BOOK that dealt perfectly with my love-hate relationship with my Dad. It was so direct and targeted it was scary. And because it is a workbook, you must DO the exercises to get the benefit. And while painful, they were very revealing.My best advice is that you get a counselor/therapist/objective friend to listen to you and make sure you complete all the exercises.
This author is a godsend. She has lived through and healed her father wounds

Brilliant Work
Jane Drew is a brilliant author with great insight into this area. Many of us missed out on having a father who was there when we needed him... in the way that we needed him. This book is about addressing that wound and moving forward. --Frank Boyd Similar Products
