Steel, D: Daddy's Girls

In Danielle Steel's compelling and thought-provoking novel, three remarkable sisters discover the difficult truth about their past and the importance of their unique bond to each other.

Many years have passed since Texas ranch hand JT Tucker took his three small daughters to start a new life. With a will of iron, and a lot of hard work, he eventually built the largest ranch in California. But success comes at a price, and with no mother in their life, the domineering Tucker's relationship with each of his very different daughters was complicated.

Caroline, the youngest, was overlooked by her father for her entire life. She fled the ranch as early as she could to become a wife and mother, pursuing a career writing children's books.

Gemma, his declared favourite, wanted to escape and, yearning for Hollywood glamour, became a major TV star.

Kate, the eldest, stayed at home to work on the ranch, forsaking relationships and family for a father who took her completely for granted.

When JT dies suddenly, the paper trail he leaves behind reveals much more than the sisters could ever have guessed. The truth brings a new reality, strengthening their bond with each other and helping them to understand who they really are and what they really want.
