Favorite Daughter by Morgan Dick

A darkly funny contemporary novel about estranged sisters, family secrets, and the complicated bonds of love, rivalry, and forgiveness.

What if your greatest enemy turned out to be your only family?

In Favorite Daughter, debut author Morgan Dick delivers a witty, emotionally layered novel about two half-sisters whose lives collide after their father's final wish forces them together under extraordinary circumstances.

Mickey has spent her life carrying the resentment of being abandoned by her father. When he dies, she's shocked to learn she's inherited his fortune—but only if she agrees to attend mandatory therapy sessions with a psychologist she's never met.

That psychologist is Arlo.

Unlike Mickey, Arlo remained devoted to their father until his death. Furious after being excluded from his will, she's determined to uncover the truth behind his final decision. What neither woman realizes is that they're sisters, unknowingly drawn into a therapeutic relationship built on deception, resentment, and long-buried family secrets.

As their sessions become increasingly personal, hidden truths begin to unravel, forcing Mickey and Arlo to confront painful memories, unresolved grief, and the complicated legacy their father left behind. With razor-sharp humor and genuine emotional depth, Favorite Daughter explores the messy realities of sibling relationships, family dysfunction, identity, and the possibility of forgiveness.
