Darling Girls: A Novel

Jessica, Norah, and Alicia were raised together as foster sisters by Miss Fairchild on a farming estate after being rescued from family tragedies. They were told they were fortunate, but their childhood held darker realities. Miss Fairchild imposed strict rules, was unpredictable, and could not be defied. The three eventually left and believed themselves free, though Miss Fairchild remained present in their thoughts. Years later, a body is discovered beneath their childhood home. The foster sisters become central to the investigation—whether as key witnesses or prime suspects remains unclear. The discovery forces them to confront their shared past and the secrets they have kept.
