Would it not be wonderful if life was as grand as we all envision? Unfortunately, the sad reality of life is some women carry a lot of accumulated baggage throughout their life that weighs them down emotionally, physically, and spiritually. From life experiences, they carry anger, hurt, abuse, abandonment, pity, fear, and selfishness around for years or maybe even a lifetime. Prior to experiencing some of life's most difficult and devastating moments, most women dream of a fairy-tale wedding; however, no one tells them with a fairy-tale wedding comes real obligations. Without an earthly father filled with God's Holy Spirit, to teach, demonstrate, and nurture her when she is a young girl, she may not ever find or discover how real love feels. Without having properly taught and trained the individuals when they were young, marriages will experience numerous unnecessary struggles, strife, and destruction. This may very well be the reality of having an absentee father. Having an absentee father can lead to other lifelong challenges as well, as you will read in this intriguing book.

After a family friend accidentally detonates a bomb during a political protest, the aftershocks continue to roil through 17-year-old Beamer Flynn's life. The first child born in a commune her parents helped form, Beamer has grown up under the watchful eye of all the people once involved in the now-disbanded commune. They were all present at her birth, voted on her name (Merry Moonbeam), and still feel entitled to have a say in her life. As those friends (the “Woodies”) gather at her Northern Minnesota home to discuss and deal with the consequences of the bombing, Beamer yearns to escape their constant presence--especially their surveillance of her life, her deepening romance with boyfriend Andy, and her developing relationship with a college student, Martin. Andy will soon be graduating and heading east to college; he wants more emotional and physical intimacy. Martin wants time together and to become part of the cozy community around the family’s woodstove. The Woodies want updates on every conversation and night out. Beamer wants to escape. Cross-country skiing, school, snowmobile racing, and winter softball (on-ice) all provide welcome distractions until Beamer comes to the attention of a persistent reporter who is writing about the bombing. When the reporter expands that story to include Beamer, the turbulent winter threatens to explode. Through her relationship with Andy and Martin, and in the lingering shadow of the distant 1960s, Beamer is finally forced to examine her unusual upbringing and confront the legacy of being Everybody’s Daughter.
