Dear Dad: An Inspirational Epistolary Novelette of Divorce, Family Fracture, and Healing Through Faith and Forgiveness

A fictionalized epistolary of divorce, loss, and the journey from trauma to healing—through faith, forgiveness, and redemption.

Through letters penned to the father she lost, Katy chronicles a childhood fractured by divorce, distance, and deception. When her mother flees a failing marriage and whisks five daughters from Wisconsin to Kentucky, Katy clings to her farm-girl memories, her dream of becoming a writer, and her Christian faith that promises healing beyond the hurt.

But a stepfather’s betrayal, years of silence, and the slow unraveling of family secrets test everything she believes about trusting God, forgiveness, and what it means to belong.

Dear Dad is a poignant, faith-filled journey from abandonment to grace found in restoration, redemption, loss recovery, finding purpose, and belonging—penned one letter at a time.
