In today's increasingly complicated world, it's often difficult for parents to connect with their daughters -- and especially so for fathers. In this unique and invaluable guide, Dr. Meg Meeker, a pediatrician with more than 20 years experience counseling girls, reveals the young woman's relationship with her father is far more important than we've ever realized.  To become a strong confident woman, a daughter needs her father's attention,  protection, courage and wisdom.  Dr. Meeker shares the 10 secrets every father needs to know in order to strengthen or rebuild bonds with his daughter and shape her life -- and his own -- for the better.  Inside, you'll discover:

• The essential virtues of strong fathers - and how to develop them.
• The cues daughters take from the dads on everything from self-respect to drugs, alcohol and sex.
• The truth about ground rules. (Girls do want them, despite their protests.)
• The importance of becoming a hero to your daughter.
• The biggest mistake a dad can make -- and the ramifications.
• The fact that girls actually depend on their dads' guidance into adulthood.
• Steps fathers can follow to help daughters avoid disastrous decisions and mistakes.
• Ways in which a father's faith - or lack thereof - will influence his daughter.
• Essential communication strategies for different stages of a girl's life.
• True stories of "prodigal daughters" - and how their fathers helped to bring them back.

"Dr. Meeker's conclusions are timely, relevant and often deeply moving.  No one interested in what girls experience growing up in our culture today, and the impact that parents, especially fathers, have on the experience can afford to miss reading this book."
