Stephanie King is an author, speaker, and father wound healing advocate based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. She spent years achieving, serving in the Army, reaching the Executive level in the Department of Defense, climbing to Vice President at a relocation company, before understanding that every pattern in her life traced back to the same place. That understanding became the Father Wound Cycle™, an eight-stage framework she built from the inside out. Her debut book, Daddy Dilemma: Healing the Father Wound and the Patterns It Left Behind, is for every woman who has been keeping it together so long she forgot she was allowed to fall apart. She leads a monthly women's group and speaks on identity, relational healing, and breaking generational patterns.

Daddy Dilemma is for women who grew up without the father they needed, whether he was absent, unpredictable, or hurtful, and who can see his absence echoing in the patterns of their adult lives. Built around three father archetypes (The Ghost, The Guest, and The Monster) and the original Father Wound Cycle™ framework, the book walks readers through eight stages of healing: Wound, Adaptation, Identity, Repetition, Interruption, Grief, Boundaries, and Restoration. Written in a warm, second-person voice that puts the reader at the center of her own story, it is as readable as it is transformative.
