"Bridges" is as much about hurdling the internal obstacles that have kept us away from the place where self-love lives, as it is about bridging the seemingly unbridgeable gap between estranged daughters and fathers. It is as much about soul development as it is about reconciliation between a parent and a child, once believed to have been lost.

J.R. Barras guides daughter-and-father reconciliation, bonding, and healing, with illustrations pulled from the lives of real women and their fathers, and affirmations and practical exercises designed by the author in association with experts.

“I firmly believe that daughters have a ‘hole in their soul’ in their fathers’ shape, and when dads are unwilling or unable to fill it, there remains a painful, and often, lifelong wound. Jonetta’s book is an empowering resource to aid women during the much needed healing process. Indeed, it’s a must read for any woman who longs to be called ‘daddy’s little girl.’”
