In author Lavita Stokes' debut book, 'A Father's Love' she takes a period of time to reflect upon her own painfully raw childhood experience growing up without a father. This is her story, it may also be your story, and from a broader perspective it is a tragic human story.  But tragedy is only the first half because on the other side of pain exists the possibility of redemption.  Beyond the statistics, beyond the cold facts, there is a lesson learned about the importance of Fatherhood, of taking responsibility.  There is much to be learned about the dynamic and life changing power of 'A Father’s Love.'
