Summary: Great idea for a "10 millionman march"
Review: As a periodic reader, I recently had the opportunity to began reading the work of this first time author Xichel. I was pleased and suprised at the way the delicate subject matter was pondered over and then developed. There certainly are too many fathers out there that get away without financially supporting their offsprings, but very few of them have an idea of the scars that are left when there is no emotional or spiritual support from them. Xichel has taken a very fragile subject that mirrors most of the world,and put it into a made for tv drama that everyone should see. I thought it to be very unique how she expossed the scars of four different people who where very much the same with a real life storyline. This story has impacted my viewpoints on father/daughter relationships and I recommend daughters everywhere read it then give it as a gift to their dads whether they are in their lives or out.

Summary: Still trying to figure it out....Thanks for nothing dad
Review: I can definitely relate to the story line in Delicate Relations after growing up in a single parent home without a father. It truly affects you as a person, decisions you make in life, how you judge men and what you expect from relationships with others. Xichel has an exceptional way of expressing herself through words that captures it's audience. Very detailed and well written from a female prospective. After reading this, I felt the need to confront the man that was SUPPOSED to be my rock and supporter as a little girl growing up. Expecting nothing in return, maybe I will someday soon. Hopefully, this can heal old wounds and tarnish my animosity towards him. The healing process is still a long road ahead.

Summary: Deadbeat Dads Please Come Forward
Review: This new author has taken on a very sensitive topic,one that will start many fathers to thinking about the impact they have on their female offspings. As one of those daughters left behind by my dad at the age of 5, this story left me full of hope and a willingness to forgive and restore the relationship that I barely remember. Thank you Xichel for sounding forth my thoughts and feelings in this very honest reality check called "Delicate Relations"
