Father absence isn't just a childhood wound, it's a blueprint that can follow daughters into adulthood. In Absent Fathers, Broken Standards, Kashmere Flakes delivers a raw, unflinching look at how fatherless girls often inherit patterns of unhealthy love, broken standards, and repeated heartbreak.

Through heartfelt storytelling and hard truths, this book exposes the ways absence influences self-worth, relationships, and boundaries and shows women how to reclaim their power, demand respect, and finally break the cycle of inherited pain.
