I Can Only Imagine Dad

I Imagine Dad shares Frances McHenry's story of how she came into existence-whether real or imaginary. The story steps through real events of time like World War I and WW II, as she imagines them. As a new author, Mrs. McHenry has imagined and woven together a very vivid account of what may have been the story of how her two biological parents came together. As a young girl, Frances yearned so badly for the love of a father. She would imagine herself walking around like the young bird in P.D. Eastman's book, Are You My Mother? A seasoned storyteller in her book I Imagine Dad, Frances is symbolically searching and asking everyone she comes into contact with the lifelong question that she is still asking today-Are You My Father? Frances writes, I always wondered why some people acted like they hated me, and why I got nasty comments and snide remarks from others. When one does not know the truth, one is at the mercy of one\'s own imagination, and that becomes truth to you! Read the exciting love affair of Joe and Audrey, share the pain of Jane's lost love of James, and rediscover childhood curiosity as you read McHenry's delightfully crafted version of her conception and childhood history in I Imagine Dad: Legacy of an Unknown Father. There is a warm, homespun quality to I Imagine Dad that begins with the book's charming book cover. The author's idea is a clever one and her talent for writing is evident. The story is quite captivating and heartwarming. The characters are fully drawn and intriguing. McHenry has a talent for storytelling. It would be interesting should she choose to write another book because the potential is there. Her style is reminiscent of Dorothy Garlock, who is well known for homespun period romances.
