Saving Fatherhood: Building Strong Bonds and Thriving Families

By Alfred Elamin

The basis of the research was done over the past three to four years. It was pulled from many resources and other fathers' testimonies of their experiences dealing with the court systems and other government entities and also dealing with the mental aspect of rebuilding the bond between an estranged father and child. Each chapter deals with a step-by-step playbook that can help heal that cracked relationship.
