Marry Higgins Clark's novel, __Daddy's Little Girl__, starts out with main character Ellie Cavanaugh. When she was eight years old, her fifteen-year-old sister didn't come home one frightening night. Ellie's parents put her to bed before she had the chance to tell them about her sister, Andrea, and her hiding place in the garage of neighbor Mrs. Westerfield. The next day, Ellie goes to the hiding place and sees the body of her sister and runs home to tell her parents. Frightened, she didn't know what to think, or even any motive for her sister's death! Ellie is questioned by the police and is forced to tell them that her sister was sneaking around behind her parents back, dating an older boy, Rob Westerfield. Ellie said that Andrea planned to meet Rob the night she was killed. With the evidence before them, a jury convicted Rob of Andrea's murder. Then, twenty years later, Rob is out of prision on parole. Ellie is now determined to see that Rob does not strike again, even if it means sacrificing her on life and putting herself in danger! Mary Higgins Clark created an amazing suspense novel, with a main character who proved to be aspiring to women everywhere. Ellie was determined to do what she thought was right, and did not let anything get in her way.
