Praise
"A biography that fully captures its dynamic subject and her greatest accomplishment." — Boston Globe
"Stacy Cordery’s engaging portrait . . . paints a charming picture of Daisy as a warm-hearted force of nature." — Chicago Tribune
"Cordery . . . has written a detailed and well-researched book. She shows Low to be a strong woman ahead of her time." — The Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Of the three books pegged to the Girl Scouts’ 100th, the most engaging by far is Stacy A. Cordery’s Juliette Gordon Low. Ms. Cordery gives us the unexpurgated life—one that might make you want to shield the eyes of the nearest Brownie Scout but one that also lends depth and color to the American Girl Scouts founder’s story. Ms. Cordery uses a wealth of historical detail to animate both an era and the author’s flawed, sometimes exasperating but generally appealing subject. . . . The merit badge here goes to Stacy Cordery’s biography." — The Wall Street Journal
"Cordery’s extensive biography fully explores the complex and intricate life of Low." — Deseret News
"Delightful." — BookPage
"This biography brings to life the woman whose efforts galvanized an entire nation of young women. ‘Long Live Girl Scouts!’ may be the cry on readers’ lips after finishing this tribute to a spirited and inspirational American leader." — Kirkus Reviews
