Publisher's Synopsis
The wayward daughters is a story of a small-town fisherman whose wife mysteriously disappears in 1967, leaving him to raise five daughters on his own. The girls are soon taken and raised by Parson Blackstock and his wife, and Earnest Wayward never sees them again. Forty years later, when Charlotte Hope, a 32-year-old journalist, researches the commercial fishing industry in Prince Edward County, she stumbles upon the story of the Wayward family and becomes hooked on discovering the truth of what happened to them. While her journey takes her across North America and Europe, she becomes obsessed with reconciling the girls to their father before he dies. In her quest, Charlotte unlocks secrets from the past that are perhaps better left buried, like old wrecks at the bottom of the sea.
