About this book

When Kat Stempien discovers a mysterious postcard among her late great-grandmother’s belongings, she is drawn back to her ancestral homeland of Poland. What begins as a search for answers soon unearths a tangled web of secrets, forcing Kat to confront a past that refuses to stay buried. 

Her only ally is Marek Nowak, a man with his own complicated ties to the past. When his great-grandfather’s name appears in an old book linked to Kat’s family, their fates become intertwined. 

As they follow a trail of deception stretching back to the late 1930s—when Poland stood on the brink of war—they uncover a story of betrayal, resilience, and the dangerous lengths people went to in order to protect those they loved, and what they believe to be true. 

But some truths do not set you free. As Kat pieces together her family’s past, she must ask herself: is the past worth uncovering if it threatens to consume the present?

Blending historical fiction, magical realism, a dual timeline, and Polish folklore, The Daughters is a story of lineage, sacrifice, and the inescapable pull of history.
