About this ebook
It might take growing up to become a daddy’s girl. A deeply moving family saga based in twentieth-century Liverpool from the author of A Nest of Singing Birds.
From a young age Laura Redmond resents the way her father speaks to her mother. She does not understand that despite his heated outbursts, John Redmond is a loyal and devoted husband.
As Laura grows up, her protective love for her mother, Anne, leads to a love/hate relationship between father and daughter. Many think this is because they are so alike—both uncompromising and determined. Only Laura’s great-grandmother recognizes the truth.
It takes many years filled with triumph and tragedy for the family, and the arrival of a special man in Laura’s life, before she can properly grasp the true nature of her father.
