This book is to help those who have fled emotionally abusive relationships and now there is no contact between the father and child. Written based on my own personal experience of trying to find a way to explain why my son's dad suddenly wasn't there anymore, and why we left. I searched and searched for books that would help me but couldn't find anything that was relevant. So, after speaking to various mental health professionals I devised my own way of telling my son why he was no longer in contact with his father. I wanted to make sure he didn't blame himself and that no matter what, he is loved and safe now. I am now on a mission to help other women in my situation and give them the tools to help their own children. I have also included a bonus poem at the end.

Most little boys want to grow up to be like their daddies, who might teach them how to build things or how to drive. Maybe they see their daddies going off to do important jobs every day. But what about little boys who grow up without their dads? When one little boy's daddy is gone, he turns to his mama to ask what his daddy was like. Is he a fireman, rushing to save the day? Or maybe he's a farmer who grows corn and beans. Perhaps he drives a train or flies a plane, carrying people and things to where they need to go. Or he could be a solider or an astronaut. Although the little boy doesn't know when his daddy left or where he went, he still wants to know more. In this children's story, one little boy who has never met his father imagines all the careers his daddy might have, from firefighter to pilot to astronaut.
