You’d never guess that she was the same shy little girl that answered the softball questions the judges gave her to help her loosen up.

Raising Righteous & Rowdy Girls
In ‘Raising Righteous and Rowdy Girls’, Doug Giles reinforces the notion that little women don’t need to be pampered by their fathers to turn out right.
