Her Father's Daughter

Rating:
Summary: Student Reviewer
Review: As Maggie Morrison grows up she has her share of good times and bad times. As Maggie matures into a young lady of 13 years, she buys her first bra. She discover that a best friend can also be a boyfriend. Maggie's world isn't a gentle or stable one. She moves from place to place and see different faces all the time. The only constant thing in her life is her emerging sense in herself. I thought that the book was kind of funny. I enjoyed it but I did not like the ending. It kind of just ended and left me hanging. It doesn't seem like an ending at all. I had a feeling that there was more to the story but they lost the ending of it and only published that much.

Summary: From her granddaughter...
Review: 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.

Summary: This was good!
Review: 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.

Summary: Maggie's Years
Review: Maggie Morrison was a little girl who had a hard life, as well as her mother. In the book, Maggie describes how her life was on into puberty, as well as the rest of her familys' issues. From her dad stumbling in drunk every night, to her mom smoking like a smokestack. It grasps the reader page by page because the sequence is in such an interesting order. There is no moral or motive for the story, although the book will keep you tuned in. This book would be best intended for teenage girls to read.

Review: 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!

Summary: woderful
Review: this was a great book. this was a story of a young girl and her alcoholic but loving father and strickt but loving mother and there messy divorce. it takes place in oregon around the great depression time, and it also goes through this girls struggle with puberty and awkwardness of addolessence. the abuse of her father, moms boss, and her uncle, and the finding that her best friend can be her boyfriend.this is a wonderful book the only reason i gave it four stars is because it had a utterly dissapointing ending. its ending was like the author lost interest or ran out of ideas and left it at that.but dont let the ending keep you from not reading the book it is still a great book.
