I am at a loss, as this just makes no sense to me. I might have already forgotten some nuance of the language, but for an hour I tried to translate this to something that makes sense, and was not able to. This is a sentence, with no other context, so that's of no help either. Could also be that there are typos.
娘、本を投げてパパに渡した事があって怒ったんです。
Who does what in this sentence, who is angry, who throws the book and just what is going on here?
This is a poorly-written sentence (see the comments), but the most natural interpretation is:
娘が本を投げてパパに渡した事があって、(私は)怒ったんです。
My daughter once passed a book to her father by throwing it, which made me mad.
I reckon パパ would imply a familiar person is the subject of the sentence. So, it should be the mother of 娘.
The kids calling your parents パパ or ママ is a universal phenomena in the world.
So, the mother of the daughter should be angry due to her daughter throwing books away to the father. Other possibility regarding the subject is the relative of 娘 because they are calling パパ, but without further context it's not so natural interpretation.
娘が... makes the agent of throwing books clearer than 娘、... though, the sentence is understandable. I think attaching any possessive markers like うちの(i.e うちの娘、) or something makes the agent clearer.
