Daughters of Cornwall cover

Three women across generations uncover family secrets and navigate the challenges of their times in Daughters of Cornwall, a tale of resilience and love.

Set against the backdrop of tumultuous historical events, Daughters of Cornwall weaves the stories of three women across different eras. In 1918, Clara Carter embarks on a journey to Cornwall, seeking a family that once could have been hers. However, she carries a secret that must remain hidden from them, adding tension to her quest for belonging. The narrative explores themes of identity and the sacrifices made in the pursuit of love and acceptance.

Fast forward to 1939, and we meet Hannah, who is intrigued by her mother's enigmatic past. The onset of the Second World War forces Hannah and her brothers to confront their family's history while grappling with the challenges of wartime life. As they strive to contribute to the war effort, they uncover layers of their family's legacy, revealing how the past shapes their present.

Finally, in 2020, Caroline stands as the guardian of her family's secrets, but the time has come to unveil the truth to her daughter, Natalie. Through her revelations, Caroline aims to empower Natalie with the knowledge of their lineage, showcasing the resilience and strength of the women who came before them. Daughters of Cornwall is a poignant exploration of the bonds between mothers and daughters, the weight of secrets, and the enduring power of love.
