Book Description
Here is Fannie Flagg's high-spirited and unabashedly sentimental first novel, the precursor to the bestselling Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe.Taken from the pages of Daisy Fay Harper's journal, this is a coming of age story set in rural Mississippi that is by turns hilarious and touching. It begins in 1952 when Daisy Fay is a sassy, truth-tellin' but lonely eleven-year old, and ends six years later when she becomes the flamboyant, unlikely -- but assured -- winner of the Miss Mississippi contest. Along the way, we meet some of the raffish and outrageous town locals, including her own Daddy, who comes up with a mortgage scheme that requires Daisy's "resurrection." This is a thoroughly entertaining comic novel with a heroine who is bound to capture your heart.Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg is also available from Random House AudioBooks.

Daisy Fay and the miracle book,
This review is from: Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man (Paperback)
This book about Daisy will make you laugh, cry and just feel good about yourself no matter what your circumstance. it will lift up your spirits as you follow her through her escapades. all the characters are lively and fun to follow! if you have never read Flagg, start with this one. you cant go wrong! Upbeat, lively, moving, and well written, I was reminded at time of Jackson McCrae's work (think his "Children's Corner" or possibly some of Capote's works.

Miracle is right!,
This review is from: Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man (Paperback)
My Southern reading list includes some of the classics you all know, and few you might not. My only criteria is that the book be absolutely fantastic, and the ones I've picked fall in that category easily, with "Daisy Fay" coming in first place. Here are the other ones:Fried Green Tomatoes You can't go wrong with any of these in my opinion. Enjoy and pass them on!

Wild, witty, and wonderful.,
By ellie (MN, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man (Paperback)
Eleven-year-old Daisy Fay Harper is the sassy narrator of Fannie Flagg's debut novel. Documenting her experiences growing up in a tiny Mississippi beach town, Daisy Fay writes with indomitable humor, charm, and pluck. Fannie Flagg has an amazing talent for creating true-to-life (yet marvelously zany) characters, and Daisy Fay and her town are no exception. The only problem? Flagg appears to lose interest once Daisy Fay hits high school. Things take a turn for the worse - both in Daisy Fay's life and in the writing. Things aren't as detailed, and the older Daisy Fay lacks much of the smart alecky quality of her younger counterpart. Still, a more than worthwhile read.
