This is my daughter

This Is My Daughter is the intense, closely examined story of the second marriage of divorced parents. Both Peter and Emma have young daughters and both are profoundly committed to the task of forming a new family - one better than those they left, one bonded by love and trust. Their daughters, however, are not partners in this venture, but helpless and unhappy participants. Instead of commitment to the new family, the girls, like all children of divorce, feel sorrow, loss, and a longing for their earlier lives. While children can't prevent a divorce, they can prevent the success of a marriage. The novel charts the course of this newly formed family that starts with such good intentions, but that struggles increasingly under the weight of such opposing desires. The tensions and complexities grow steadily more powerful as the years pass, and the story moves inexorably to a stunning and emotional climax.
