I met my dad for the first time at a funeral when I was 14...Twenty-two years later, he died.This book is about everything in between.As a little girl, I dreamt of one day meeting him. And when I finally did, the impact was greaterthan I ever could have imagined.In my adult life, I entered every room, wondering: Do you see me? I hoped a record label couldprovide me with an identity, success, and approval. Then, I assumed my husband could redeemall my broken and rejected pieces-proving to me, and the world, once and for all, that I was infact, loved.But no one could give me what I was looking for. Perhaps because they were never intended to.Had they not failed me, I wouldn't have begun to look inward, and stop expecting others toprovide me with a sense of self-worth or identity. I discovered that love had always been mine.This is how I began to ask a different question: Do I see you?Miraculously, once this shift occurred in me, my marriage began to heal, and I reconnected withmy dad-once again. But this time, it wasn't about being seen. It was about knowing him inwhatever time we had left.This book covers a wide range of topics including domestic abuse, abandonment, mental illness, addiction, recovery, suicide, forgiveness, grace, hope, and healing.
