A.M. Morgan created quite a buzz when she first began publishing this series of conversations between her and her father, D. Lester Morgan, on Associated Content. I was an instant fan and eagerly anticipated the release of this book. Indeed, the Morgans did not disappoint. Every parent and child should be blessed to have the cathartic experience of dialoguing in such an open and heartfelt manner. Readers can anticipate the full range of emotions while reading "Father and Daughter Time"; you will laugh, cry, and most of all, you'll want to let the people that you love know just how much they mean to you.

I spent several years working with Ms. Morgan as she furthered her education and lived through the Katrina hurricane and the aftermath from afar. This book fills in a lot of the back story that helped form such a principled young lady, and eventually led her to go back to the south to be near her family and extended family. It speaks frankly about how parenting can affect a childs progression towards adulthood and also how it molds the character that finally emerges with its own voice. I would suggest sitting down and reading it in one sitting.
