Daddy' Girl: The trials, tribulations and triumphs of Alice Drummond

"Daddy's Girl" follows the compelling journey of Alice Drummond, from her controlled childhood in Cape Town to her emergence as an independent young woman in London. When Alice discovers documents revealing how her mother Clare and stepfather Johan deliberately destroyed her father Jack's business empire, she orchestrates a daring escape to England at age sixteen. What follows is an extraordinary tale of resilience and reinvention, as Alice rebuilds her relationship with her father while navigating her own path through life. From launching a crypto bank in Africa to founding a refugee support organization during the Ukrainian crisis, from finding and losing love to ultimately discovering her calling as a barrister, Alice's story is one of triumph over adversity. Against the backdrop of global events and family drama, the novel explores the unbreakable bond between father and daughter, proving that some connections survive even the most determined efforts to break them. Through it all, Alice's journey from controlled teenager to confident young woman mirrors her father's own path from destroyed businessman to fulfilled family man, showing how love and resilience can overcome even the most carefully orchestrated attempts at destruction.

This is a sequel to Ludo Stuart-Douglas's Rakes Progress Trilogy and includes all the main characters.
