Description

Camisha Broussard’s writing debut, Daddy Issues, a memoir, offers a sometimes amusing, all-the-time hopeful, and eventually loving look at a dysfunctional parent-child relationship through the eyes of a fatherless daughter. Taking an atypical approach to the common fatherless perspective, Camisha forces herself to reflect on the good things about her father, and humanizes him to the point of being more empathetic of the man he was, rather than being remorseful of his shortcomings as the dad she wished him to be.

From troubled high school dropout, to college professor, wife, and mother of four, Camisha’s approach to the alcoholic father and abandoned daughter relationship is anything but stereotypical, and is a profoundly holistic look at real life, with real people, who have real problems. From colorism to alcoholism, Daddy Issues promises readers a roller-coaster ride filled with every emotion imaginable, reaching a final destination of forgiveness, hope, and finally, love.
