Deacon Brown's Daughters
Back in the day,
green-eyed Stanley David Brown was a ladies’ man. Now he’s God’s man, and he’s
got a lot of cleaning up to do. But where does an absentee father start in the
quest to get to know the children he abandoned? Will they give him a chance to
make up for lost time?
Like so many
absentee fathers he thinks that as long as their mothers are taking care of
them, they survived, they're fine, the past is the past. They should just move
on. Stanley has missed out on his chance with his son. But his three daughters,
Yolanda, Kim, and Sabrina, are in for a surprise when their long lost father
comes strolling back into their lives.
Stanley’s presence is met with three
different responses, not to mention the reactions from his children’s mothers.
Stanley is doing his best to win the girls’ hearts, but how many times can one
man apologize before giving up again? Should he be held accountable for not
being there when he didn't know how to be there? Should they have reached out
to him? Should their mother's try harder to track him down? Is there an age
limit to end parental responsibility? Is non payment of child support a reason
to keep your child away from their father?
This story is near
and dear to our hearts because it hits close to home. Growing up my dad didn't
live in the house with me so I can certainly relate to the girls. My parents
got a divorce when I was young and although my dad was granted visitation it
just still wasn't enough. Our visit were few and far between, we were just
going through the motions. I was still disconnected from him emotionally and he
thought things were fine. It wasn't until I got pregnant with my own daughter
that I was able to share with him how I felt. He was shocked and honestly
didn't know how to connect with me emotionally. I'm so glad that he took full
responsibility and was willing to work
on our relationship. I'm so thankful that God restored our relationship and
we're closer than ever. Absentee fathers
seem to be what's trending now, and unfortunately some people don't ever get
the opportunity to get to know their fathers. It's our prayer that as you read
Deacon Brown's Daughters that you'll search yourself and try to mend those
broken relationships. Join this journey of life, love, and forgiveness as
Stanley and his daughters walk through touch territory in a storyline that
rings true for so many people. Grow with Stanley and his daughters as they all
grow to know the Best Father ever!
