![]() What a Difference a Daddy Makes: The Indelible Imprint a Dad Leaves on His Daughter's Life $14.99 Cubby must have some horrifically sore elbows patting himself on the back for so many pages. One gathers from this book that a mother is hardly necessary except perhaps as the holy vessel for bearing children. Yet this man has been on the talk-show, speakers', and book-signing circuits for ages so it stands to reason that his daughters are great kids because the woman who stayed home and raised them is an incredible woman. As a conservative and a Christian I didn't find this book appealing. Children benefit from two involved, loving parents who are kind and respectful to each other. I bought this book on the advice of my kid's pediatrician thinking it would help my husband do a better job of talking WITH our daughter. After reading the book I think it merely suggests that men are what women need whether we women know it or not. (And that if you don't have a dad in the image of Cubby Leman, woe is you. His insights are vague - girls need support, they need love. Leman doesn't really offer any true insight to girl/woman thought processes and how they are so different than boys or how to grasp those differences and relate kindly and well with daughters. Wish I had my money back. ![]() Rocketbooks: Shakespear's Macbeth - A Study Guide $14.98 William Shakespeare's Macbeth tells the story of Macbeth, a warrior in Scotland's army.
