"Papa Was A Rolling Stone: A Daughter's Journey to Forgiveness"
A touching and compassionate story, "Papa Was A Rolling Stone: A Daughter's Journey to Forgiveness", exposes the painful experience of father absence in America. Robin Wright King describes her account and struggle to understand why the 'first man she wanted to love her' did not. She elegantly articulates the impact of his absence while sharing her journey to forgiveness and the vitally important role that fathers play in the lives of their daughters. She examines this national fatherlessness epidemic for African American females and all women, and issues a call to action to alter behaviors responsible for 'Baby Daddy's and 'Baby Mama's.
