About the Book

Isa Harred has spent twenty-five years believing she knows exactly who she is.

Then she turns off a piece of technology in her own head—and the face looking back at her is no longer the one she remembers.

From there, the problem only gets worse.

Memories return out of order. People she trusts remember versions of her life she doesn’t. The people she was raised to fear know things about her family that she was never supposed to learn. And Coen—the person she trusts most—has answers he has apparently been trying to give her for years.

Unfortunately, every answer seems to create another question.

Told entirely through Isa’s sharp, messy, retrospective narration, The Wrong Daughter is a dystopian science-fiction novel about identity, manufactured truth, control, memory, inherited power, and the complicated difference between being loved and being possessed.

And yes.

This is, in fact, a love story.
