Spanning three generations, Daughters of Destiny follows the women of the Li family: grandmother Mei, who survived war and famine; her daughter Lan, who sacrificed love for duty; and granddaughter Lily, a determined young woman striving to defy tradition. When a long-buried family secret surfaces after Mei's death, the three women must confront the choices that bound them—and the fate that threatens to repeat itself. Set against the sweeping backdrop of a rapidly changing China, this poignant, richly woven novel explores love, sacrifice, and the unbreakable ties between mothers and daughters. It is a moving testament to the quiet courage required to rewrite one's own destiny.
