What to expect
Oxfordshire, 1919
The war is over, but its shadows linger. When spirited Lily Brown meets Robert Linford, heir to a prosperous building dynasty, their connection is immediate and electric. But Robert’s father, Joseph Linford, sees only danger in his new daughter to be. Convinced Lily is a gold-digger and Robert’s love a fleeting fancy, Joseph will stop at nothing to protect the family name.
What begins as prejudice soon turns into obsession, and Joseph’s actions set in motion a lie that will haunt the Linfords for generations. Torn apart by deceit and circumstance, Lily and Robert must find the courage to fight for love, truth, and their own destinies.
From rural Oxfordshire to the corridors of family power, A Daughter’s Courage is a rich and passionate saga, perfect for fans of Chrissie Walsh, Evelyn Hood and Fenella J Miller.
