My Review: 

A Daughter's Journey is a wonderful debut by the talented author, Myra Lee Glass. I really enjoyed reading this quick tale of love, adventure, history, and mystery. I was excited to see that it was partly set in the town that I lived in for several years and seeing through the author's eyes of what it looked like way back when during the depression era and beyond. She did a fabulous job with the details that made me feel as though I was right there living among the characters. I wanted to keep reading to find out what had become of Mary  and I wanted to see what Estelle would discover. At just over one hundred pages long, it was easy to keep reading, hard to put down, and one to read in one sitting. I thought it was a beautiful story to spend a relaxing break of the day. 

I believe that A Daughter's Journey is most definitely a five star read. I would give it many many more stars if I could. I am highly recommending it for readers, fans and lovers of young adult historical fiction. Myra Lee Glass has earned herself a new fan and I will be eagerly awaiting a follow up to this one. It was an honor to have the opportunity to read this debut. I loved it.

I received a digital copy of A Daughter's Journey from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
