What do you do when the person you love most will never give you what you need most?
She tried everything.
Still not enough.
This is a memoir about the impossible math of conditional love.
About being both your father's daughter and your own person. About respecting the empire, he built while refusing to live in it.
It's about daughters who wait by holes in walls for fathers to notice them. And the moment they stop waiting.
For anyone who's chosen themselves and felt like a traitor.
For anyone still chasing words they'll never hear.
This is your story too.

SELINA is a writer and storyteller from East India. By day, she works in the corporate world–analytics, strategies, brand voices that aren't hers. By night, she writes the messy, honest stuff that doesn't fit in marketing briefs.
She's been writing since she was eight years old—poems, stories, burned pages, buried notebooks. This is her first book that she's actually letting anyone read.
"I'm my father's daughter" started as therapy and ended as testimony. She wrote it for every daughter still waiting to hear "I'm proud of you."
And maybe, a little bit, for herself too.
