 DAYTON, OHIO (USA) --  Publisher, author, poet, songwriter, motivational speaker and Family and Youth Issues consultant Mrs. Lena Fields Arnold will add her inspirational and profound voice to  IN SEARCH OF FATHERHOOD®’s straight-no chaser forum on issues affecting Fathers, families, communities and our world on Saturday, 17 February 2018 from 3:00 P.M.

(E.D.T.).   IN SEARCH OF FATHERHOOD® is a blog talk radio show (www.blogtalkradio.com/gumboforthe soul) airing on the TRIBE Family Channel ™ Network (www.gumboforthesoulinternational.com). 

What motivated Mrs. Arnold to write “In The Absence Of My Father” (www.barnesandnoble.com; www.amazon.com)?  Why is it that “In The Absence Of My Father” is being heralded as an instrument through which 320,000,000 children who are Fatherless throughout our global village can see their reflections and hear their voices?   How is it, that at the same time, “In The Absence Of My Father” is also viewed as a medium through which the powerfully transformative gifts that Fathers bestow upon their children are unveiled?  Mrs. Arnold, who will be joined by her husband, Mr. Horace Arnold on the show, will offer answers to these and other questions..   To join in the dialogue and pose comments and questions to Mrs. Arnold during the show, dial 347-539-5285.
