Liverpool Daughter cover

In Liverpool Daughter, a young woman defies her father's wishes during WWII, choosing to serve her country and discover the strength of friendship and family amidst conflict.

In Liverpool Daughter, set against the backdrop of World War II, the story unfolds in August 1940 as the Luftwaffe targets Liverpool. Shane Quinn, a concerned father, decides to move his family to Ireland for safety. However, his spirited daughter, Dana, feels a strong sense of duty to her country and chooses to stay behind. Alongside her friends Patty and Lucy, she enlists in the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF), eager to contribute to the war effort and find her own path amidst the chaos.

As Dana navigates life on an RAF station, she encounters not only the challenges of military life but also the thrill of new friendships and budding romances. The excitement of serving her country is palpable, yet the realities of war soon cast a shadow over their youthful enthusiasm. The trio's bond deepens as they face the emotional toll of conflict, highlighting the importance of camaraderie in such trying times.

When devastating news arrives from Ireland, Dana is forced to confront the true meaning of family and the sacrifices that come with love and loyalty. Liverpool Daughter is a heartwarming tale of courage, friendship, and the enduring spirit of those who find themselves in the midst of war, reminding us of the power of home and heart in turbulent times.
