Chicken Soup for the Father & Daughter Soul: Stories to Celebrate the Love Between Dads & Daughters Throughout the Years (Chicken Soup for the Soul)

My father past away almost five years ago and I miss him everyday. Chicken soup for the father and daughter soul was such a wonderful read and it reminded me of all the great times my dad and I had. It reminds us of how lucky we were to have these men in our lives!!!!

We're all familiar with the Chicken Soup series so no need to talk about layout and all ... this book has some good, inspiring stories of real entreprenuers, many you'll know telling how they got where they are. I use it for inspiration, read one a night and keep youre head on straight. Short review but good book, not a lot to say further.

Like a lot of people, men in particular, I've seen this "Chicken Soup" series of books for years now, but had never read one. That is, until my daughter gave me a copy of CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE FATHER AND DAUGHTER SOUL, as a gift recently. I have to admit, it isn't just filled with mushy stories like I expected, but rather is a collection of various circumstances revolving around the special relationship between a man and his daughter.

These are real stories, written by real people, about real events that are similar to what all father/ daughter relationships go through. This particular volume is broken into 9 different chapters, each covering different components of life's happenings, and each with about a dozen or so stories somehow related to the subject matter of that chapter.

The book is also sprinkled with a handful of cartoon joke pages. The book concludes with a one page bio on each of the five authors and a single paragraph bio on each contributor. This book will make you laugh. It will make you cru. Mostly, it will preserve and strengthen the special blessing in life that is like no other, .... The relationship of father and his princess.

What is the understood miracle about the relationship of a daddy with his daughter or a daughter with her daddy? Jack Canfield shares many precious memories and sweetest moments with these heartwarming recollections that allude to the beautiful mystery of the daddy/daughter connection. From one story to the next, the daddy/daughter heart and soul exudes deepest love so graciously and gratefully. Whether through laughter or tears, the emotions felt from reading these stories brought forth many of my own forgotten memories. WOW!!!Thanks to Jack and Mark for sharing this fantastic collection that, once again, focuses on the best 'stuff' in Life.

Kudos to Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Nancy Autio, Patty Aubery and LeAnn Thieman for compiling the wonderful stories in Chicken Soup for the Father/Daughter Soul. My story, Hidden Wings is included in the book and I am proud to be a part of the Chicken Soup series. Thanks to all of you for giving me the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful episode. All the stories will leave you breathless, yearning for childlike thoughts of the past embracing you with tenderness and love.
