Eric Goodman, author of Twelfth, Race and Child of My Right Hand This is a plot fully loaded, with flawed, compelling characters, in whom we recognize our best dreams of ourselves." "In The Lost Daughter, Lucy Ferriss has crafted a moving tale of sin and redemption, motherhood and second chances, that is sure to touch the reader's heart. Mary-Ann Tirone Smith, author of Girls of Tender Age "Lucy Ferriss holds a mirror to today's headlines, smashes it, and turns the splintered shards into a tension-filled, beautifully written story of the moment, when a deadly secret takes on a life of its own." Tom Perrotta, New York Times bestselling author of The Abstinence Teacher, Little Children and The Leftovers Lucy Ferriss is a courageous and thought-provoking writer." "The Lost Daughter is a complex, engaging novel about guilt, secrecy, and the mysteries of family. Wally Lamb, New York Times bestselling author of The Hour I First Believed, She's Come Undone and I Know This Much is True From its harrowing prologue to its final sentences, I was emotionally engaged with this fine novel. "Lucy Ferriss's The Lost Daughter delivers the goods: flawed but sympathetic characters and a plot that will keep readers turning the pages voraciously. Set in a future that is not far-fetched but well within the range of our imagination, The Misconceiver not only addresses one of today’s most immediate issues but also brings to life characters and relationships that could well be ours, just over the horizon of time.Advance Praise for Lucy Ferriss and THE LOST DAUGHTER: Eventually she must choose-between revenge and forgiveness, family and self, guilt and accountability, love and action.
Betrayed, arrested, and jailed, she begins to confront the multiple contradictions of her world. Yet despite her profession, despite the connection she sees between her job stamping out malware and her illicit vocation terminating pregnancies, Phoebe holds few political beliefs-until a love affair forces her to choose between closing herself off and revealing her secret. The worst punishment for rape is a paternity suit.
Outside, technology has progressed but social change has moved backward. Following in the steps of her dead sister and mother, narrator Phoebe Masters works in the computer industry by day and at night performs illegal "misconceptions" in her basement, restoring to desperate women some measure of control over their own bodies.
