Daughters Need Their Dads, Too is a deeply personal, faithanchored memoir. It traces the lifelong impact of fatherlessness, the search for belonging, and the healing power of God's voice and love.

Born as the only living child of her mother, the author grew up watching other children experience the father and child bond she longed for. Her early years were marked by questions, loneliness, and a quiet ache for the dad who wasn't there.

As she navigated childhood, she encountered "tentative dads", men who stepped in briefly, inconsistently, or sometimes harmfully. These experiences shaped her understanding of safety, identity, and worth.

At age ten, during a traumatic moment, Erica heard a divine voice for the first time. Words that would guide her for the rest of her life.

As she grew into adolescence and adulthood, her relationship with God became the stabilizing force that filled the void her earthly father could not fill. Through church, spiritual encounters, and moments where the word of God came alive, she discovered a Father who would never leave her.

The book follows her journey through:

• Childhood longing,
• Dangerous encounters and divine protection,
• Her salvation experience and call to ministry,
• Connecting with her biological father,
• Miraculous moments of provision and guidance,
• Losing her mother and learning to trust God with her life,
• Homelessness and resilience,
• Finding true love and marrying her husband, Terry.

Interwoven throughout the memoir are interviews with other daughters, friends, family, and church members, offering a broader look at how a father's presence or absence shapes a girl's heart.

Daughters Need Their Dads, Too is a testimony of survival, restoration, and spiritual relationship. It shows that while earthly fathers may fail, drift, or disappear, God, the Father, steps in with unwavering love, identity, and purpose.

The author's story encourages daughters everywhere to heal, hope, and embrace the truth that they are never alone.
