THE DAUGHTER
A spellbinding psychological thriller with a shocking twist by Dorothy Alter.
How far would you go to protect the life you built - when the past you buried comes knocking?
Marianne Hartman has spent twenty years hiding from the mistakes that nearly destroyed her. She has a successful husband, a beautiful home, and a teenage daughter who knows nothing of her mother's former life. To the outside world, Marianne is a devoted wife and mother. But, beneath the surface, her carefully crafted life is held together by silence.
When a young woman named Ellie appears in their quiet lives, Marianne's fragile peace begins to crack.
As Ellie insinuates herself into their lives, Marianne becomes convinced that this is no coincidence. Ellie knows things she shouldn't - things that Marianne has never spoken aloud. Memories that Marianne fought to erase begin to resurface, and a long-buried truth starts clawing its way back into the light.
But the more Marianne tries to hold her family together, the more isolated she becomes. Her husband is distracted. Her daughter is pulling away. And Ellie? Ellie is always there, waiting for the moment when Marianne's perfect world will shatter.
Taut and haunting. The Daughter is a gripping psychological thriller about secrets that fester in silence and the devastating cost of past mistakes. In a world where the past never truly stays hidden, every choice comes with a price - and some daughters will never forget.
Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Ruth Ware, and psychological thriller readers who love a slow burn that explodes into a chilling climax.
