I love the idea of trying to fix something in a person's life through words and stories like this especially one that has plenty of morals to teach. Nice one by the author!

This sounds like such a creative story. Hemmingway is an inspiring artist. To imagine he had a daughter instead of only 3 sons sounds like an adventure. I cannot wait to see how this turns out.

What a fun idea for a book! I think at times we'd all like to rewrite history, hopefully for the better. I'm looking forward to reading this one. Great review!

Well, now this book seems intriguing and I may have to check it out as I've read everything - and I mean everything - of Hemingway's that's been published. It will be interesting to read about how the man who was the definition of machismo would act as the father of a daughter. Intriguing to say the least. Congrats to the author on tackling an interesting subject, and being awarded BOTD in the progress.

Wow it's so hard to take a person with flaws that you can see as a role model but Finley didn't use that to make his father look horrible. Finley Richard Hemingway must be a strong and capable woman I would like to know if she is able to break the Hemingway Jinx. Thanks for the great review.

I like how intriguing the story was. Finley's personality showed the way she was raised by her father despite his imperfections.

I love the premise of this book! A little bit of well-researched information and a lot of fiction. Finley sounds like she has many obstacles to overcome in order to fulfill her destiny as a lawyer. Thanks for the informative review.

I think it's more of a fictional story. Alot more obstacles to be occupied. Very fascinating and The content of the story is more about the things the longing to see or have greatest accomplishment
