Let yourself be seduced into dreaming: "The Lost Daughter" tells of an emotional quest in Italy and two great love stories, and is the first part of the atmospheric family secret saga "The Lost Daughters."

When Lily walks through the vineyards, she is happy, and thus she has fulfilled her dream with her profession as a winemaker. Just before her departure to Italy, where she wants to work at the famous Rossi family vineyard, Lily is handed a mysterious heirloom: a small wooden box with her grandmother's name on it. The box was found in a former women's shelter in London and contains only a handwritten recipe in Italian and a program from the Milan opera house from 1946. What does it mean?

Upon arriving in Italy, Lily immediately begins her quest. Supported by Antonio, the charming son of the Rossi family, she eventually uncovers the equally shocking and touching story of a great love that could also give her life a new direction.

New Zealand author Soraya Lane takes readers on a journey to the most beautiful corners of the world with her family secret novels about seven "lost daughters": Mysterious heirlooms lead seven young women to uncover a tragic secret in their family, to fateful love stories, and ultimately to their own future.
