So a very general question. Can you picture a novel that is all about a teen’s relationship with her dad where he only makes an actual appearance twice? It won’t seem like it’s all about she and her dad unless the reader thinks about it. Thoughts?

I did not but as it’s a lot autobiographical we must have stuff in common!
@Jenmcjen Copy that!
Sounds very Chekhovian to me. Yes. I can visualize it: teen sees man and her mother acts strangely. At the end, teen learns that the man, who she sees one final time, is her dad.

Not exactly. What I am doing is, teen acts out because she finds out her dad is not her bio dad. This is before the book starts and she doesn’t know she’s acting out because of this. Anyway, the experiences at the group home are the things that help her reach a resolution regarding her dad. The climax is a scene with her dad, where her understanding learned over the previous year help her trust her dad. Though now I kinda like your idea!
