They appeared to be the perfect family-parents met as teenagers. Stirred and on fire for God, they married each other right out of high school and started having gorgeous babies soon after.





After three sons and fourteen years of marriage, precious Harmony was born. No one knew that eleven years later, that baby girl would be abandoned by her father. No one would have guessed he would cheat on his faithful wife and leave her and his six children to fend for themselves. But he did.







Each child suffered greatly, but Harmony shares her story of the effects of the separation. After wrestling with denial, anger, and entitlement to expectations, Harmony came to realize she hated and despised her father for leaving the family. As a young Christian, she couldn't understand how so much spite could be inside of her. She then began to seek the freedom only forgiveness can bring, hoping for reconciliation concerning the absence of her dad. The journey of discovery revealed to her far more than she ever expected. How much does an absent father affect a girl's life? She digs deep to offer an answer to this timeless question that affects so many of us all.
