Daughter: A Girl-to-Girl Conversation About What it Means to Be One

by Deborah Isabel Miller

Whether painful or life-giving, girls everywhere have stories about how their dads have impacted their lives. But every daughter can choose what her own responses and impact will be in this relationship as she grows into a young woman. In 'Daughter', Deborah Miller unpacks the questions she had in her relationship with her dad as she navigated the transition from girlhood to womanhood. She shares from the Word of God, her own story, and the stories of young women she’s met. These stories explore questions like: What do you do when your relationship is loving, but there are still barriers to connection? How do words like “honor” and “authority” look in everyday conversations, interactions, and differences? How do you step into adulthood and make decisions separate from your father while still walking in honor? How can girls process past hurts without blaming or overemphasizing this relationship? How do we move past what we know about Father God into experiencing Him personally? 'Daughter' invites girls to be faithful in their role as they press towards the beauty of a connected relationship with Father God and their dads.

Thank you, Deborah, for writing this book! It was really what I needed right now, and I hope I can put some of it into practice. The thing that stuck out to me the most was the part about treating my father with honor. It inspired me to search out ways to use my giftings in the best possible way to bless him.

Written well and in a lovely refreshing manner. Deborah does well at look at entire picture and in reaching all levels of daughters. It is a good reminder of the beauty of our roles as well as power of our actions as daughters.
