Although she makes many mistakes due to her circumstances, including murder, she becomes the best loved murderer in the town of Marmalade. It is the story of a serial killer who regrets her actions later in life when she knows better. But it is precisely Daisy's ignorance of the civilized world and her lust for life that will make you love her, too.
