The Warrior's Daughter by Holly BennettLuaine is the daughter of the renowned warrior Cuchulainn, and honor and war have always been a part of her life. She interacts with kings, queens, and great druids thanks to her father's stature, and receives a thorough education. As a young girl she must flee her home with her mother while her father goes off to fight Queen Maeve's vast army. She loses her parents before she's fully become a woman and is married off to old King Conchobor. It's a loveless marriage, and she is forced into hiding after a spurned poet curses her.
Note from Ms. Secord:
How did you feel about the relationship bewtween Luaine and her father? Are there any parallels between a teen/parent relationship of today and that of many years ago?
