Fathers and Daughters: In Their Own Words

About this book

By turns adoring alienating challenging and cherished the bond between a father and daughter is always a compex and compelling one and acclaimed photographer Mariana Cook explores this eternal relationship as never before. In the best-selling tradition of Gifts of Age Fathers and Daughters offers a remarkable collection of photographic portraits of 60 fathers and their daughters both famous and obscure. Cooks exquisite images are accompanied by deeply moving texts writen by her subjects themselves--sometimes plain-spoken sometimes poetic but always directly from the heart. With an introduction by William Styron and an afterword by the photographer Fathers and Daughters is much more than a glimpse into the lives of a few individuals; it is a loving tribute and an inspiratonal documentary--as well as the quintessential Fathers Day gift--for fathers and daughters everywhere.
