A Widow For One Year

Hands down one of the most thought-provoking novels I've ever read about a dad and a daughter, A Widow For One Year is split into two equally compelling halves: the first half (made into a movie, The Door in the Floor) focuses on womanizing children's book writer Ted Cole when his daughter Ruth is a child. Later, it focuses on the adult Ruth grappling with the complicated fallout of being her father's daughter.

Oh, and of course, the Nancy Drew series!

For some reason, the father-daughter aspect of "A Girl's Guide to Hunting and Fishing" by Melissa Bank as well as "The Glass Castle" by Jeanette Walls spring to mind.

I like, "Hold Daddy's Hand - A Father's Ageless book of wisdom for his daughter," by Ken LaVoie - www.kenlavoie.com

I like "Papa, Please Get the Moon For Me" by Eric Carle !! :) It's a little kid book about the sheer adoration of a daughter by her father.

sup tres -- great list. i used to love the ramona books! another amazing book about a father and daughter is Disgrace by JM Coetzee. it's definitely difficult, not at all heartwarming like these books. maybe it's best saved for a couple months after father's day.....
