Six of the best books featuring father-daughter relationships

Kimi Cunningham Grant is the author of three books. Silver Like Dust is a memoir chronicling her Japanese-American grandparents and their internment during World War II. Her second book, Fallen Mountains, is a literary mystery set in a small town in Pennsylvania, where fracking has just begun. The newly released These Silent Woods is her third book.

At CrimeReads she tagged six favorite books featuring father-daughter relationships, including:
When Ghosts Come Home by Wiley Cash

Winston, the quiet, humble sheriff who finds himself in the midst of investigating a murder and a plane crash, just as he’s about to lose a bid for reelection, is at the heart of this book. His daughter, Colleen, reels from a major loss of her own, and, as she struggles to regain her footing, heads back to her parents’ home in North Carolina. I especially loved the backstory of these two. From childhood, through adolescence, and into adulthood, Winston tries hard to connect with and support his daughter.
