They heard about it on a radio program and ordered it based on the positive review.  Both Mom and Dad read it before giving it to us and thought it was very good.<br \/>\nSo far, I&#8217;ve read the intro and I&#8217;m looking forward to reading it.  As a father of three girls, I probably need to.  From the intro:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I want you to see yourself through her eyes.  And I don&#8217;t want this just for her sake, but for yours, because if you could see yourself as she sees you, even for ten minutes, your life would never be the same. &#8230;<br \/>\nYour daughter gets up in the morning because you exist.  You were here first and she came into being because of you.  The epicenter of her tiny world is you.  Friends, family members, teachers, professors, or coaches will influence her to varying degrees, but they won&#8217;t knead her character.  You will.  Because you are her Dad.<\/p>\n<div align=\"right\">pp.4-5<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Good stuff, and it gives me a lump in my through as I think about it in relation to my girls.
