<p><strong>Secret wartime letters, a volatile love triangle, an unmarked grave, a noble heritage—a revelatory mother-daughter memoir about discovery, love, and forgiveness.</strong></p>

<p>Sorting through her late mother’s possessions, Halina St. James found a secret stash of letters. They told how her mother, Maria, was abducted as a teenager in Ukraine by Nazis and sent to Germany as a slave.</p>

<p>After the war, Maria found herself pregnant in a displaced persons camp. She married the father, an older man from a noble Polish family. But her life changed when her husband introduced his friend, a young Polish freedom fighter. In Canada, the younger man betrayed his friend and ran off with Maria and Halina.</p>

<p>The letters made Halina realize how little she knew of her mother or her heritage.</p>

<p><em>The Golden Daughter</em> is the gripping story of a mother and daughter shaped by forces they had no control over. </p>

<p>After uncovering truths hidden for a century, Halina was finally able to make peace with her mother, her father—and herself.</p>
