Awesome Fatherlessness Album and Music Offers

What happens to a little girl who grows up without a father? Can she ever feel truly loved and fully alive? Does she ever heal--or is she doomed to live a wounded, fragmented life and to pass her wounds down to her own children? Fatherlessness afflicts nearly half the households in America, and it has reached epidemic proportions in the African-American community, with especially devastating consequences for black women. In this powerful book, accomplished journalist Jonetta Rose Barras breaks the code of silence and gives voice to the experiences of America's fatherless women--starting with herself.

Passionate and shockingly frank, Whatever Happened to Daddy's Little Girl? is the first book to explore the plight of America's fatherless daughters from the unique perspective of the African-American community. This brilliant volume gives all fatherless daughters the knowledge that they are not alone and the courage to overcome the hidden pain they have suffered for so long.

Joseph Oblinger, widely ministering as a Catholic priest for over sixty years is still participating on a part-time basis in that capacity Over the span of those years, he has discovered the traits of human behavior, much like a sociologist or psychologist would. In his lifetime as a priest, counselor, mountain climber, traveler, and as an avid reader, he is well-equipped to recognize and offer his observations of the diminishing role of the father in the family. Men are no longer seen in the head of household or leadership role that was prevalent in previous generations and so necessary to the family unit. After years of observing men in special sessions, he has decided that this is the time to make the public aware of these concerns and the seriousness of the problem. Father Oblinger senses the need for some serious reflection on the topic of this work, which has two dimensions: fatherlessness and the vanishing virtues of manhood, citing reasons why this has happened, and offering suggestions for healing the malady.The book is not a scientific study based on anecdotal evidence or case studies of men over the years, or even basic principles of sociology or psychology. It is a series of reflections and personal reactions to the events that have occurred around him, as he witnessed them first hand or through the media. In this pursuit he is hopeful that we may come up with more methodologies or therapies to stem the tide of all the destructive consequences of fatherlessness..
