Synopsis
Papa Was A Rolling Stone: A Daughter's Journey to Forgiveness captures the pains of hundreds of thousands of daughters especially in Black America with absent fathers. Prof. Lee E. Meadows of Walsh College describes it as "a stunningly vivid account of a parental void that should resonate with readers" while Oliver J. Johnson, PhD, says it "reminds us of the pain that is generated when fathers are absent and invisible." Author Robin Wright King lived through such pain while growing up without her father in Detroit Michigan but she was able to forgive her father and move on with her life as a loving mother of two, a successful entrepreneur and lecturer.

October 22, 2007: As a female who grew up with my dad, 'Papa Was A Rolling Stone' was so very informative to me. It explained the many aspects of fatherlessness and how even those of us whose father was in the home could experience fatherlessness in other ways. This book made me commit to letting my two sons know just how important they will be in the lives of their daughters if they have any in the future. Ms. Wright King's book read like a beautiful, truthful and powerful letter to her father. I would recommend it to everyone - even if you had a father in the home. A Must Read!!
