Boy, oh, boy, man alive, DAUGHTER is a smoker!
I rarely get caught-up in the action of a story.
This, DAUGHTER, had me spinning in the helicopter, pressing the truck throttle lightly to extend the range, and reaching through the pages to slap a few bureaucrats upside the head.
Here is the cover blurb:
Teams of arsonists set hundreds of wildfires.
Inept RulingElites cover their incompetence by blaming innocents after hearing and disregarding the truth.
Until TheRulingElites need to prove their value, they poke fun at the hicks and little people.
Any time they need to prove their value, they point their obedient legions in the wrong direction.
A couple [paraphrased] lines stand clear for me:
As she sits in the comfortable chair while servants hover, she thinks "I could get accustomed to this opulence!"
A bureaucrat demands a half-billion with a 'B' dollar bribe from the US treasury, and another bureaucrat doesn't blink an eye as she automatically says 'yes'.
In my experience with bureaucrats, DAUGHTER is their standard level of:
a) incompetence, and
b) corruption.
As I write this in 2020, anybody with any sense knows America is lost.
They have no law, no responsibility, no moral code.
Their hundreds of millions of tax-recipients wallow at the 'easy life' trough.
The millions of foreigners they import have zero sense of community values.
Those foreigners automatically form enclaves reminiscent of the places they escaped.
DAUGHTER is an exploration of the loss of everything all free peoples hold dear.
Yes, DAUGHTER has some religious moments.
No, DAUGHTER is not pro-christian nor anti-RulingElites.
With everything we know about corruptive influences on weak hearts, I believe DAUGHTER is merely a reflection of Americans.
Weak Americans hope without action.
Strong enemies act with extreme malice.
Which polarity will prevail?
Stay tuned...
The writing craft is excellent.
Character development is perfect.
Story arc is ideal.
The surprise climax -- after knowing those antagonists -- is perfectly expected.
I especially enjoyed the comparison of normal folks to TheRulingElites.
DAUGHTER is a delicious delight!
Highly recommended, DAUGHTER easily earns TheLargeMarge SealOfApproval.

What's most important to know? How very enjoyable--and exciting--this book is!
I LOVE that these are people (characters) who pray for help and receive it. Yet, they still must make decisions and abide by their consequences, for good or for ill. As must we all. I could scarcely lay my Kindle down. Jamie Lee Grey is a terrific writer. I did not hesitate to order the next book, for which I will have to wait a mere two days. Also, I was surprised to find that I had ordered the first book of her Band of Believers series--and then neglected to read it! So that will fill in during my very short wait for Daughter of Babylon, Book 2: New York.
