Writing A Book

I have decided to write a book, I write all the time... But recently, since the passing of my father I have thought a lot about our relationship. I have always wondered about how the father-daughter relationship affects young women. Having a very different relationship then my peers, my parents were married, and my father was so much a part of my life, I sometimes wanted a break from him. I have always wondered how I would be if I was not so close to him, if I had a father that was not there. Who would have been my male prototype, the man I look to for guidance. So the plan is to write a book that discusses the relationship I had with my father, how that has effected my romantic relationships (or lack there of) and the impact the father-daughter relationship has on young African American women. Right now I am in research mode, trying to get my hands on any books that talk about black families.

Right now I am reading...
