About the book
When the world keeps moving,
and you still miss him.
Losing your dad can change the shape of ordinary days. The person you want to call. The voice you wish you could hear. The quiet that arrives when everyone else has gone home.
For the Girl Who Lost Her Dad is a collection of short poems that puts words to those moments—from the first shock of loss to learning to carry his absence.
Read a little at a time, or return to the words that meet you where you are.
