Synopsis

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.
