review 1: This book is a sort of historical fiction, taking place during the winter of 1850-ish in Massachusetts. It reminds me a lot of books I read scores of as a kid, and I'm pleasantly surprised they're still publishing books like this. Mostly I enjoyed the story, though it really dragged in parts. I felt the ending was way too rushed. But I did like the "who am I?" aspect and how the main character went about exploring her personal and cultural identity.
review 2: In the mid-19th century shipbuilding town of Essex, Massachusetts, 12-year-old Addie learns a startling and unexpected secret about her identity. When we first meet Addie, her father has sailed to California to find gold. Her mother and brother have died of a sudden illness. Addie is alone, except for h... moreer best friend, John, and a mysterious Wampanoag Indian woman. Addie struggles to find her place in this new and treacherous life, while she waits for her father to return. Daughter of Winter has a subtle effect on you, building your concern for Addie's welfare while simultaneously increasing your wonder about who Addie really is. An unexpected page turner that you will hope has a sequel. less
