Dayton and daughter - Tessa Barclay

Beth Dayton's architectural designs have won many awards. Reaching her thirtieth birthday her father, also an architect, offers her a place in the family firm, Dayton & Daughter. She accepts but soon finds herself in the midst of controversy. Dayton & Daughter's latest contract provokes a battle with a local conservation group and Beth, already facing her father's disapproval because of her modern approach, is unable to work out where her sympathies lie. As her relationship with Peter Lambot, lawyer for the group, develops it looks as if she will be forced to make an impossible choice. Should Beth stand by her father or should she follow the man she loves?
