There are moments in a child's life when they don't need perfect answers-
they need presence.
They don't need long speeches, but words rooted in respect, experience, and love.
Letters to Mery: Advice from a Father is born from that place.
This book is a collection of letters written by a father to his teenage daughter, sharing thoughtful reflections on growing up, making choices, facing fear, making mistakes, and learning how to stand back up. It speaks not from rigid authority, but from the quiet strength of someone who walks alongside rather than ahead.

Letters to Mery: Advice from a Father is born from that place.
This book is a collection of letters written by a father to his teenage daughter, sharing thoughtful reflections on growing up, making choices, facing fear, making mistakes, and learning how to stand back up. It speaks not from rigid authority, but from the quiet strength of someone who walks alongside rather than ahead.
It is written primarily for parents of teenagers who want to guide without imposing, and also for adults who still carry conversations with their younger selves. Each letter invites reflection, pause, and meaningful dialogue.
What will you find in this book?
Unlike many parenting books, this is not a manual filled with methods or theories. It does not speak about teenagers-it speaks to them. Every letter feels like a real conversation, free from clichés or forced sentimentality, grounded in lived experience and emotional authenticity.
This is not a how-to guide.
It is an emotional legacy.
A book you can read from beginning to end, or open at random-like receiving the right letter at the right moment.
If you are a parent, this book may help you put into words what you feel but struggle to say.
If you were once a teenager, you may find here the words you once needed to hear.
Letters to Mery doesn't try to teach you how to live-it walks with you along the way. Miguel Ángel Núñez, PhD, of Chilean-Argentine descent, is a family counselor and marital therapist with extensive experience. He travels around the world giving lectures and has been a university professor for more than 35 years. He is regularly invited to speak on topics such as child education, sexuality, family dynamics, marriage, anthropology, and ethics. Happily married, he has two adult children, also married, and is the proud grandfather of four grandchildren. He has written more than 100 books. He resides in Spain.
What will you find in this book?
- Clear, human advice on self-esteem, responsibility, and decision-making
- Reflections on fear, social pressure, failure, and personal integrity
- Messages that strengthen the bond between parents and children-without moralizing
- An intimate, honest, and respectful tone that is easy to read and revisit
