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 greater
than I ever could have imagined.
In my adult life, I entered every room, wondering: Do you see me? I hoped a record label could
provide me with an identity, success, and approval. Then, I assumed my husband could redeem
all my broken and rejected pieces-proving to me, and the world, once and for all, that I was in
fact, 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 to
provide 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 with
my dad-once again. But this time, it wasn't about being seen. It was about knowing him in
whatever 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.
