Daddy is commendable as a modern fairytale.
Noreen Cartwright's grandmother and two great-aunts are a big improvement over imaginary angels and fairies. Hattie decides it is time to take things into her own hands. Noreen and her stepbrother inherited equal shares of the family farm in Rockwall, Texas, a semi-rural area north of Dallas. While she attempts to save the family acreage from encroaching development by raising a profitable crop, her stepbrother plots to sell the farm to support his Ferrari and other wannabe-playboy habits. Noreen is no provincial hick overwhelmed by a slick urbanite.
