Barely holding onto a slim, 24-21 lead against Penn, it seemed as though Harvard would surrender just its second loss of the season. With only 20 seconds left on the game clock and the ball on the Crimson 12-yard line, the Quakers looked poised to win in the final seconds. But senior safety Ryan Barnes was not going to let that happen on his watch, making the key interception in the end zone that stopped Penn’s final offensive push and sealed the game for Harvard...

Unlike Chopra's previous novel Soulmate, which dwelt at length on specifically Eastern ideas like karma and reincarnation, Daughters focuses on a figure long popular in Western myth and legend, and among contemporary New Agers as well: the Wise Woman. Its slim plot revolves around Jess Conover, a young reporter at a Boston newspaper. Confused, adrift and emotionally anemic, Jess stumbles, seemingly by chance, on a classified ad in a newspaper: "Love has found you. Tell no one. Just come." Could the message somehow be intended for him? Chopra's loyal readers...
