On September 1, 1939 Germany invaded Poland which marked the beginning of World War II.

As battles are fought in the fields, those at home also fight to survive. A Daughters War is the true account of a Polish family's survival during the German occupation of Poland. When Papa is captured by the Germans, stone walls can't keep the family apart. Promises are made and kept and unlikely heroes arise to keep the family — Papa, Mama, Cathy, Edmund, Mary, Teresa, and Alas — together and alive.
