Dear Rhonda: Life Lessons from a Father to His Daughter

By: Demitri Kornegay

With these letters, [Rhonda] will always know how I felt, what I said, what I thought she should do, and how to tackle a problem. With these letters, she should know I loved her enough to sacrifice my wants for her needs, enough to make the unpopular decisions that would make her dislike me for a little while, but thank me later, enough to be the father more men should be. —from the Introduction

Demitri Kornegay has served as a police officer for almost two decades. Because of the natu...re of his profession, he knew that he could be killed in the line of duty at any time. And this knowledge forced him to wonder how he could ever properly convey to his daughter, Rhonda, all of the fatherly advice that he had accumulated over the years.

So Demitri started writing letters to Rhonda. In each letter, he tackled a difficult subject and ended up touching on everything from love and relationships to death to race relations, all the while encouraging his daughter to use his words as a springboard to develop her own life philosophies. When he read over the completed letters, Demitri realized that even though he had written them to his daughter, they really could be read and appreciated by anyone.

This collection of fatherly wisdom provides the kind of sound advice that anyone—young or old—can learn from.
