Synopsis
&“The strong, authentic voices of the women sharing their own narratives and awakenings from life without fathers is the power of this book.&” —Esme AAMBC Non-Fiction Self-Help Book of the YearAAMBC Breakout Author of the Year He Never Came Home is a collection of twenty-two personal essays written by girls and women who have been separated from their fathers by way of divorce, abandonment, or death. The contributors to this collection come from a wide range of different backgrounds in terms of race, socioeconomic status, religion, and geographic location. Their essays offer deep insights into the emotions related to losing one&’s father, including sadness, indifference, anger, acceptance—and everything in between. This book, edited by Essence magazine&’s west coast editor Regina R. Robertson, is first and foremost an offering to young girls and women who have endured the loss of their fathers. But it also speaks to mothers who are raising girls without a father present, offering important perspective into their daughter&’s feelings and struggles. The essays in He Never Came Home are organized into three categories: &“Divorce,&” &“Distant,&” and &“Deceased.&” With essays by contributors including Emmy Award-winning actress Regina King, fitness expert and New York Times bestselling author Gabrielle Reece, television comedy writer Jenny Lee—and a foreword by TV news anchor Joy-Ann Reid—this anthology illustrates the journey of the fatherless, and provides a space for these writers to express their pain, hope, and healing, minus any judgments and without apology.
