The first section, the one about the father, made my heart ache for this girl. Having a good relationship with my own father made me appreciate it that much more. I know that this kind of relationship exists, but it still hurts to confront it so head on.
I loved the female empowerment in the last section of this book. Women are allowed to have this strong connection with themselves. They do not have to have a man to feel good about themselves. I'm not sure why this section hit me so much, but it did. There is a sense of acceptance of one's own self. Of one's flaws and one's past. It's calming.
