«The Good Daughters» is the contemporary fiction novel by Joyce Maynard, published by HarperCollins in paperback (288 pages, in English).
Ruth and Dana are born on the same day in the same hospital, though into very different families: one is an artist and dreamer; the other, a scientist and realist. Their lives intersect for decades across New Hampshire, Boston, and British Columbia, marked by love, loss, and family secrets, until a secret from the past comes to light.
For readers of contemporary fiction and book clubs, especially those seeking stories about family, friendship, and secrets from the past.
