Summary:

"Finding Father is a collection of stories about Mennonite fathers by their daughters. Written by well-known and first-time writers, these stories illuminate the often close and sometimes troubling relationships found within this most precious bond. From battles over relationships and sexuality, to debates over chores and church, these stories also hold the shared intimacies of driving with dad, side by side, laughing and going down the road together. Mary Ann Loewen is the editor of Sons and Mothers: Stories from Mennonite Men, teaches academic writing at University of Winnipeg, and lives in Winnipeg, MB"-- Provided by publisher.
