Book Description:
Caroline, Annette and Leah St. Clair have spent their lives trying to escape the legacy of their wealthy, social-climbing mother, Virginia, a woman who had little time -- and even less feeling -- for her daughters. Though the sisters now consider themselves happy, each has lost a certain part of herself. Then, on the eve of her seventieth birthday, Virginia asks her daughters to help her get settled into her magnificient new estate on the peaceful, rocky coast of Maine. Though their first reaction is to turn her down, each of the sisters ultimately decides to go...to give Virginia what she asks for, perhaps for the last. But it is Virginia who gives to her daughters. For amid the glorious beauty of a New England summer, the sisters find answers to question that have troubled them fo years, insights into the men in their lives, and new truths that will stay with them forever. For My Daughter is an eloquent and heartfelt protrait rich with passion, joy fulfillment, and, most of all, love, as four women discover not only one another, but themselves as well.

Moving tale of three estranged sisters that learn about themselves and their Mother-right before it's too late. A very good read.
excellant, excellant, book! wish I had read it sooner! wonderful read.
This is a wonderfully written story of a mother's love and need to reconnect with her grown daughters, who feel they were unloved and neglected by a cold and indifferent mother as they grew up. The three daughters not only grow close to each other but also find out why their mother was seemingly so distant. As they find out about their mother, they also discover things about themselves they were reluctant to admit. A really hard-to-put-down book ..... and you feel so good at the end.
Barbara Delinsky's books are so heartwarming. This is a tale about sisters who have nothing in common but meet and find out their mother is their bond.
Oh!! what a LOVE story. Very romantic and dreamy.
Cheryl (Toni) J. (Estranged sisters Caroline, Annette, and Leah St. Clair have spent their lives trying to escape the legacy of their wealthy, aloof, social-climbing mother, Virginia -- each losing a certain part of herself in the process. Now, on the eve of her seventieth birthday, Virginia has asked them all to help her get settled into her magnificent new estate on the rocky coast of Maine, a request each sister reluctantly agrees to, thinking it may be her mother's last.
But it is Virginia who has something to give to the daughters she neglected in childhood. For amid the glories of a New England summer, three sisters will finally learn the answers to the questions that have troubled them for years . . . and new truths that will stay with them forever.
It's a great love story, but much more than that. Expect to shed a tear, and a few smiles. A great book!
A really incredible story of family relationships - sister to sister - and mother to daughter - plus a reminder about how the choices we make in life affect our life. Great read!
Kristin W. from SCOTTSVILLE, NY wrote on 3/23/2006...From the back: "From the New York Times bestselling author of Suddenly and Together Alone, comes this touching novel of the many facets and the eduring power of love, the tenacious strength of family, and the choices we make that determine who we are."
