Fathers are among the most important people in the lives of all children. But the relationship with one's own father can be very different, depending on how the relationship has developed over the years. Was the father present? A workaholic? Did he leave the family and never contact them again... Or was he always a role model, friend and confidant? In many cases, daughters and sons have a loving relationship with them, but of course there are also relationships that are very distant and full of rejection. Our authors explore all these facets across generations in their often touching texts.
