Book Description

Publication Date: 6 July 2006

One young woman in search of a past - and a future ...

Sweet-natured but dappy Daisy Buchan drifts from job to job and takes her policeman boyfriend Joel for granted. She's happy, but she doesn't know what she wants from life.

But when her adoptive mother dies and leaves her twenty-five-year-old daughter a scrapbook of memories, Daisy finally discovers who she is and where she came from. Her real mother was a teenage farmer's daughter from Cornwall - and Daisy drops everything to go and find her. But in going in search of her past, is Daisy risking the future of her relationship not only with her adored dad but also with Joel? And will she be able to deal with the truth about her real parents and the real Daisy?

Review

As 25-year-old Daisy reels from the death of her beloved adoptive mother, she is further shocked by a scrapbook of memories that contains long-hidden information about who she is and where she came from. Her real mother had been a poor young teenage girl from Cornwall and Daisy is determined to find out more. But unravelling the past could risk her future - with her adored dad John and with boyfriend Joel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lesley Pearse does it again!! 7 Mar 2002
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Just when you think Lesley Pearse's writing couldn't get any better, it does. A much shorter book in comparison to all her other ones, but no less gripping altho' not so harrowing as her last book "trust Me".

It is only when Daisy's adopted mother dies of cancer that our heroine begins the search for her birth mother and unfolds a tale of innocence corrupted and a family split by greed and misery. My only complaint is this author only manages to write 1 book a year, which in my opinion is too long to wait!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Yet again, another brilliant book! 8 Feb 2004
By Rebecca Kwok
Format:Paperback
Lesley Pearse's Father Unknown is another book that you just cannot put down. The story follows Daisy who embarks on a journey to discover her true heritage. On her journey we discover the reasons why she was given away as a baby, and we learn of the hardship her natural mother went through to survive in a disapproving society.

The book is quite predictable but that's what I really liked about it. This was the third book of Pearse's that I read and I still think she is a fantastic writer. The stories she writes are very emotional and Father Unknown is no exception. The book is so involving it's hard not to like it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Excellent Read 19 Sep 2003
By "emma7997"
Format:Paperback
I started reading Lesley Pearse's books when I first read Charlie, since then I've bought more books of her's including, recently bought Till We Meet Again, Never Look Back, Rosie, Camilla, Trust Me and others. Lesley's an amazing author she's become one of my favourites. Now matter how big the book is I always find once I start reading I can't put it now. The stories are so realistic you find yourself becoming part of the story.

You will not be disappointed. You should definately purchase this and many more of her books.
