Caroline, Annette and Leah St Clair have never been close, to each other or to their aloof, remote mother Ginny; as adults they live very different lives in different cities. caroline is a successful lawyer, who devotes more time to her career than to her artist boyfriend Ben. Annette is a full - time wife and mother, who smothers her husband and five children with love. And Leah is a social butterfly, twice divorced, who flits from party to party, always alone.
When Ginny, in her seventieth year, invites her daughters to help redecorate the rambling new house she`s bought on the coast, each is too curious to refuse. They can`t understand why their mother has chosen to retire to a town with which their family has no connection. As they begin to relax and rediscover each other amidst the beauty of the house and its gardens, they become intrigued by rumours of a scandalous love affair that took place over forty years ago, a love story that has echoes in a budding new passion.
And as the truth about Ginny`s life emerges, all three sisters will begin to understand the past, and find the courage to make the choices that will bring them life`s most precious gift...true and lasting love. Bittersweet, poignant and warm-hearted, in the tradition of Danielle Steel and Belva Plain, "For My Daughters" will strike a chord with women everywhere. |
