The Ditchdigger's Daughters

This dude was strict with his daughters.  I think since he had 5 biological kids and 1 adopted one, it's a good look at how discipline really depends on the CHILD'S personality. He didn't really tailor the discipline to fit the individual.  Sometimes I thought the dad was a jerk and sometimes I thought he had some good points.  Either way, it was a pretty inspiring story told from the middle child's perspective.  If you ever think you can't do something in life, read this book.  You will realize you can. I enjoyed it.
