But, He's your Dad
The memoir is not a revenge story.
It's not a list of grievances.
It's the story of a girl who kept trying, and the woman she became when she finally stopped.
Through lyrical prose and unflinching honesty, Ava explores the complicated grief of "loving" a parent who cannot love you in the way you need. She writes about the guilt of pulling away, the shame of wanting more, and the quiet triumph of choosing peace over chaos.
But He's My Dad is ultimately a book about survival, not the dramatic kind, but the everyday kind. The kind where you learn to trust your own voice after years of being talked over. The kind where you learn that love isn't supposed to disappear when you grow, change, or fade away.
It's a memoir for anyone who has ever had to parent themselves.
For anyone who has ever loved someone who kept leaving.
For anyone who has ever had to choose themselves for the first time.
And it's the story of how Ava Ciarvella finally did.
