 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Grass Valley, Ca. Shauna L. Smith is proud to offer her latest work, MISSING Father, A Daughter’s Search for Love, Self-Acceptance and a Parent Lost in the World of Mental Illness. MISSING FATHER is now available through the website MissingFather.squarespace.com, Amazon, Barnes and Noble and local bookstores. Contact Smith for speaking engagements and interviews.

At once a powerful story of a daughter's literal and figurative search for her father and an indictment of the mental health system with legacies to this day, Missing Father touches readers searching to make sense of the complexities of love, family and self-understanding.

Missing Father… is beautifully rendered and filled with tenderness and compassion and clarity… It reads like a dream.
