Daughters of Men: Portraits of African-American Women and Their Fathers by Rachel Vassel

Abeautiful, intimate, one-of-a-kind celebration of black fathers and their daughters, Daughters of Men showcases the importance of the black father’s impact on the accomplishments of his daughter. Consisting of dozens of stunning photographs and personal essays, the book pays tribute to the unique style of parenting of each featured man. Whether it’s a father who mentors his daughter’s artistic eye by taking her to cultural events or one who unwaveringly supports a career choice, the fathers in this book provide an intimate look at the positive side of black fatherhood. A wonderful read and the perfect Father’s Day gift!
