Daisy: A Novel of Juliette Gordon Low

by Maxie McCoy

DAISY is a sweeping historical novel that follows the extraordinary life of Juliette “Daisy” Gordon Low – a woman whose strong spirit and steadfast friendships helped her create an enduring movement for women and girls.

Determined to live beyond the confines of Southern society, Daisy set out for a grander life in New York City, only for tragedy to call her back home to Savannah, Georgia. Heartbroken yet resilient, Daisy finds strength not just in herself, but in the steadfast sisterhood of her friends, whose loyalty and love help her reimagine what life could be.


These friendships carry her through a turbulent marriage to the charming yet elusive Willy Low, and ultimately give her the courage to push past expectations and carve a new path. From the cobblestone streets of Savannah to the stately halls of England, DAISY brings to life a network of enduring friendships that enable her to resist societal norms and build a legacy that spans generations.

What an incredible journey. Five stars, easily. Daisy is empowering from start to finish — I cheered for her, I cried with her, and I closed the book in awe of a woman who was so clearly ahead of her time. Maxie McCoy tells her story beautifully, and this book is a masterclass in what women can build when they support each other. The thread of female friendship running through it — women showing up for each other, again and again — is what stuck with me most. Highly recommend.
