Publisher Description
A passionate young woman of high courage...
IN THIS SEQUEL TO JANE EYRE, young Janet Rochester is consigned to Highcrest Manor and the guardianship of the strict Colonel Dent while her parents journey to the West Indies. As Janet struggles to make a life for herself, guided by the ideals of her parents, she finds herself caught up in the mysteries of Highcrest.
Why is the East Wing forbidden to her? What lies behind locked gates? And what is the source of the voices she hears in the night? Can she trust the enigmatic Roderick Landless, or should she transfer her allegiance to the suave and charming Sir Hugo Calendar?
Whether riding her mare on the Yorkshire moors, holding her own with Colonel Dent, or waltzing at her first ball, Janet is strong, sympathetic, and courageous. After all, she is her mother's daughter.
"The very first scene pulled me in and the suspense continued to build to the very end. I'm very impressed."—Historical-Fiction.com

Wrong idea of Jane Eyre on this author's part
The author of The Daughter of Jane Eyre had the wrong idea of the character Jane Eyre, who in this author's adaption,painted Jane as cold and jealous of her daughter, supposedly, because she believes that Janet(her daughter) is taking her place as Edward's favorite!
Really! This Jane Eyre sounds nothing like the caring,kind,intelligent, and compassionate woman from Bronte's novel. It goes without a doubt,that Jane Eyre from Bronte's novel would be a warm,kind,and caring mother to all her children,and she would never hate or envy them.
