D. Patrick Bickerdike has been estranged from his daughters for over 7 years. He wants them to know that they can turn to him for help when they need it, no questions asked. This is not a book about judging anyone or writing the details from Bickerdike's perspective about the circumstances that caused the estrangement. As heart breaking as it was, he has tried to give his daughters the space they needed. Like many others in Bickerdike's situation, he has become an "Alienated Parent." While he does not believe that he deserves this status, he has no choice but to accept it.
