My Father's Daughter

My Father's Daughter by Teresa Marotta

About The Book:
"My Father's Daughter" contains all of the best elements of a great novel. The author Teresa Marotta immediately sweeps you into the intriguing adventure. Not only does it have an incredibly compelling, well-developed plot, with interesting characters, it also has scenes that will make you laugh out loud. In addition to a wonderful plot, "My Father's Daughter" has a strong thread about the importance of personal values running through it. This touch greatly adds to the respect for the hero and heroine, and definitely adds to the suspense. This is a must read for all fans of historical fiction.

My Thoughts:
This book seemed like a long read to me, but an enjoyable one. I was expecting more of a romance, but found so much more in this book. I learned a thing or two as well. After all, it is a historical romance. You can tell that the author had to put in a lot of research hours to incorporate truth into this book - about the Cherokees. It is a very respectful book, and a really good read!

About The Author:
Teresa Marotta (pseudonym for Teresa Brown) has been writing since childhood, when her 8th grade teacher accused her of plagiarism for a Christmas poem she wrote. She majored in Journalism and English throughout high school and college and has written several short stories before embarking on her first novel "My Father's Daughter" (not to be confused with Gwyneth Paltrow's new cookbook). Under the name of Teresa Brown she has written the "Adoption Records Handbook" that helps birth families obtain their original birth records, locate their birth family, and find the answers to their questions. Much of the information can also be used by anyone searching for a missing person as well. Foreward Magazine said "As a search tool, this handbook is indispensable." As T. A. Brown she also co-wrote a compilation of articles entitled "Business Security" much like the Chicken Soup for the Soul books. Subtitled: How to Protect Your Small Business Against Fraud, Debtors, Theft, Workplace Violence and More!


I received a complimentary review copy of this book from Crary Publications. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
