The author takes the reader on a journey through his life molded by his family and the many non-archetypal Dublin characters who ensured that the promise he'd made to himself as an eighteen-year-old would come true. Dear Daughter is an entertaining and exciting story of how one person coped with a number of unique challenges - from hoping to earn his daughter's forgiveness and wrestling with the pitfalls of a career in business to dealing with a looming corporate takeover. His three encounters with death, combined with his candid and comedic thoughts of murder and suicide, guarantee that no reader will be bored.
