She inherited his gift. She carried his secrets. She'll fight to claim his legacy.
Violet Nash has grown up in the shadows of her father Charlie's shattered dreams. A WWI hero haunted by memories of French Champagne caves where he once found love and redemption, he flees from the Scottish Highlands to Tasmania with his fierce daughter, determined to transform barley into liquid gold-the whisky that will be their salvation.
As Violet masters the ancient alchemy of whisky-making learned in Scotland's distilleries, she becomes her father's greatest achievement-and his deepest vulnerability.
When Hitler's war machine rolls across Europe, Charlie cannot resist the call to return to occupied France. His destination is inevitable: the Champagne region where Sophie Delancr still tends her vines under Nazi occupation, and where a young man's reckless courage will demand the ultimate sacrifice.
As Charlie vanishes into the deadly game of resistance and espionage, Violet must forge her own path through grief and rage, determined to reclaim her father's legacy.
Perfect for fans of Rhys Bowen and Kristin Hannah, The Soldier's Daughter weaves together the whisky distilleries of Scotland, the vineyards of war-torn France, and the untamed landscapes of Tasmania in a sweeping tale of love, loss, and the unbreakable bonds between fathers and daughters.
