In 1910 rural Indiana, the Patterson family's world collapses when seven-year-old Ellen vanishes without a trace. Her disappearance fractures a once-loving household, straining a marriage and reshaping every remaining daughter in the shadow of sudden loss. When another baby is born soon after, joy and grief become impossible to separate, forcing the family to navigate love that hurts as much as it heals. Daughters is a quiet, devastating story about motherhood, guilt, and the ways families survive the unthinkable-not by forgetting, but by learning to live with the echo.
