For fans of Jojo Moyes, from the bestselling author of The

Home for Unwanted Girls

, comes another compulsively readable story

of love and friendship, following the lives of two women reckoning with their

pasts and the choices that will define their futures.

Divided by their

past, united by love.

1992:

French-Canadian factions renew Quebec’s fight to gain independence, and wild,

beautiful Véronique Fortin, daughter of a radical separatist convicted of

kidnapping and murdering a prominent politician in 1970, has embraced her

father’s cause. So it is a surprise when she falls for James Phénix, a

journalist of French-Canadian heritage who opposes Quebec separatism. Their

love affair is as passionate as it is turbulent, as they negotiate a constant

struggle between love and morals.

At

the same time, James’s older sister, Elodie Phénix, one of the Duplessis Orphans,

becomes involved with a coalition demanding justice and reparations for their

suffering in the 1950s when Quebec’s orphanages were converted to mental

hospitals, a heinous political act of Premier Maurice Duplessis which affected

5,000 children.

Véronique

is the only person Elodie can rely on as she fights for retribution, reliving

her trauma, while Elodie becomes a sisterly presence for Véronique, who

continues to struggle with her family’s legacy.

The

Forgotten Daughter 

is a moving portrait of true love,

familial bonds, and persistence in the face of injustice. As each character is

pushed to their moral brink, they will discover exactly which lines they’ll

cross—and just how far they’ll go for what they believe in.
