This is a book that is not easy to read.

However, it holds great significance for those who have grown up with an emotionally distant father, an abusive father, or a father who is negligent or absent.

Until you manage to sort out these issues, you will not be able to understand what is causing you to go around in vicious circles.

The experiences of having such a father can have a profound impact on a person's life and psychological state.

This book offers valuable insights and perspectives that can help readers gain a better understanding of themselves and their relationships.

It provides a platform for self-reflection and exploration, allowing readers to come to terms with their past and find ways to break free from the negative patterns that may be holding them back.

Although the process of reading and understanding this book may be challenging, the rewards are well worth it.

It has the potential to bring about significant personal growth and transformation, enabling readers to build healthier and more fulfilling relationships in the future.

This is an absolutely amazing book. It has truly made me look very deep into not only my relationship with my dad, which was extremely abusive, but also consider the other male members in my life and their influence on me as well.


I really loved the questions at the end of each chapter. They have been incredibly helpful in my journey to heal my father wound and claim my power back as an abused child by many male members of my family.


I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has a father wound, or who had a difficult relationship with their father while growing up, or perhaps their father wasn't even there. It can provide valuable insights and a path towards healing and self-discovery.

This book has the potential to change lives and help those who have suffered from similar experiences find the strength and courage to move forward and create a better future for themselves.

This book had an astonishing impact on me. It managed to bring out raw emotions that I was aware of but had perhaps never truly confronted.

I found myself deeply immersed in the story, feeling every joy, every sorrow, and every moment of uncertainty as if it were my own.

It was a cathartic experience, and I was truly grateful for the opportunity to fully experience those emotions in a healthy way.

Through the pages of this book, I was able to explore parts of myself that I had hidden away, and in doing so, I gained a greater understanding of my own heart and soul.

It made me realize that sometimes, it's okay to feel those intense emotions and that by facing them head-on, we can grow and become stronger.

This book will always hold a special place in my heart, a reminder of the power of literature to touch our lives and transform us from within.

I grew up without my father being in my life. It was a void that I often felt keenly. So, when a friend recommended this book to me, I was eager to give it a try.

In this book, the author takes readers on a journey, carefully explaining what "Father Hunger" is and how it impacts people. It's a concept that many of us may not have fully understood before. The author then goes on to offer practical ideas and suggestions on what readers can do to relieve their personal Father Hunger.

The best aspect of this book is that it compels the reader to look closely at their own life and face those old wounds directly. It's not an easy task, but it's the most effective way to start the process of healing. By confronting these issues head-on, we can begin to move forward and find a sense of peace and resolution.

I was also pleasantly surprised by the section on parenting advice for those who have dealt with Father Hunger. It contained some truly helpful tips that can make a significant difference in the lives of parents and their children. Additionally, the book includes sections on marriage advice for those who grew up without their father in their lives. These sections offer valuable insights and guidance on building healthy and fulfilling relationships.

Overall, I would rate this book 3.5 stars. It's a thought-provoking and useful read that can help those who have experienced Father Hunger to better understand themselves and find ways to heal and move forward.
