Another excellant book . It must have been difficult for Aissa
to write all this down , but I , as a John Wayne fan , am glad
that she did . Thank you Aissa , for telling us who your
father really was . He will allways be our " HERO " .

In response to Sgt. Pepper, I really have a hard time with your comments about Aissa Wayne. I don't think she tap dances anymore, and she surely has no interest in rapping -- that's ridiculous!
Aissa is a well-known California attorney and former prosecutor. She has been in several of her father's films, as a youngster, and spends evenings at home with her family (sort of a soccer mom), according to her bio. She is an accomplished writer and career woman, and I think this book is a great look at her famous father, the Duke.
If she ever did rap, I assure you she would do it well. In the meantime, I suspect she will stick to her law career.

I had the good fortune to run across this book on Amazon. I bought it and was delighted to find out the "inside scoop" about John Wayne. I can tell that Aissa had years worth of depression - and dealing with the loss of her father.
The book is really good, even though his daughter whines and complains about her pre-teen and teenage years. Like all kids, she had a desire to be free from all parental control. John Wayne was a good father, but was a string personality in the home. He did something right for daughter Aissa is now an accomplished trial lawyer in California and a well-known supporter of her Dad. She is also a well-known tap dancer and rap-celebrity.

After reading this book, I got the impression that John Wayne was a very typical father, considering the era he was born in, and was like many dads of the 1950s, '60s and 70s. He was loyal, tender, caring, proud, and sometimes even angry, insensitive or crude. But, none of his children questioned his extreme love for them. He was a strong-willed man with an incredible personal drive; and it seems like the rest of the family often had to play catch-up.
Aissa, a stunningly beautiful woman today, describes her teenage years with clarity as she goes through the "I'm embrassed by my parents" stage. I get the feeling that she wishes that she could step back in time and spend more time with "Daddy" during the last few years of his life. In this book, her love for Duke is clear, and her self-analysis seems to be an ongoing adventure. She tends to whine at certain moments in the text, but I can live with that. I recommend this book to anyone who loves John Wayne. We certainly miss him and how he portrayed an American"

I just ordered and read this book, and I found Aissa to be very forthcoming about her years with her father, the Duke. I get the impression that John Wayne tried very hard to be a good parent. Like all parents and human beings, he had some short-comings, but he seemed to adore his children and wanted the best for them. What can be better than that? Every once in a while she tends to whine about her circumstances, but then she recovers and shares some wonderful memories about life at home with her father. John Wayne was tough and gutsy, but he allowed himself to be vulnerable around his family. I think more of him now than I did before. Aissa still seems lost without her father, which makes perfect sense to me. What a loss.
