Customer Reviews

From her granddaughter...

I am one of 3 granddaughters of Mollie Poupeney. We used to call her Mamie... anyways, this book is based on my grandma's life when she was growing up and I found it very interesting to read as i knew the characters themselves in real life. I miss her a lot and hope everyone else can bask in the sun while they read this novel. One reviewer said the endind may leave one hanging... that is because there is a second novel coming out in 2004! Hopefully all of you will look forward to reading it like myself. Her Father's Daughter is a wonderful book and i reccommend it not just to teenage girls like myself, but anyone who enjoys simple yet creative humor and writing.

Must reading for teenager girls

Her Father's Daughter is a realistic, poignant account of a sensitive little girl growing up amidst conflict and adversity. Beautifully written and heart warming.

Her Father's Daughter

When reading this story, you can feel the pain that life brings this girl and her family. A very touching novel.

This was good!

I thought that this book was a great way of illustrating the way things were during this time period (1930s). It has a lot of funny but also serious stories to tell. I'd recommend it for anyone who likes to read, there is something there for everyone.

True Grit from the Soul

Maggie, the only daughter, of an alcoholic logging father and hard working mother is feisty and wanting to be near her dad. Very FUNNY and very poignant stories of the hard Depression times without roots, except the one's Maggie grew within!
