"Unfathered is a memoir of rejection and abandonment, but also a story of the search and healing. Written as a long overdue letter to her father, Mogashana is at pains to let him know her life, and growing up torn by a bond that always seemed to come loose at the seams. A quest by a daughter to finally have the conversation that matters, but also to let her father know of the consequences that came with his absence in her life. A sweeping story of family, misunderstood needs, and the possibilities of redemption, set against the backdrop that is South Africa's looming crisis of absent fathers in many households, and the response of mothers to it. Unfathered is a poignant story that will challenge parents to be aware of, confront and deal with the consequences of their physical and emotional absence in the lives of their children, especially fathers who are often unavailable."--Page 4 of cover.
