The Child I Never Had — Kate Hewitt
“WOW!!!!… Clear your schedules and grab the tissues as you will need them!!!… It had me in tears by the end and I do not cry easily!!!… An absolutely unputdownable, addictive and compelling devastatingly beautiful heartbreaking book!!! I LOVED it!” Bookworm86, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you had to make an impossible choice to save your long-lost daughter, you would… wouldn't you?
It's a warm early summer's evening when Mia's doorbell rings. She opens the door to see a teenage girl standing in the shadow beyond the porch light -- and in an instant she knows who it is. Daisy, the daughter she gave up as a baby. Daisy steps forward, as she says tearfully “I'm sorry I didn't call first. But something happened. And I really needed… you.”
Seventeen years before, knowing she couldn't possibly give her beautiful little girl Daisy the future she deserved, Mia made the hardest decision of her life -- to give her up. And Suzanne seemed the perfect adoptive mother: calm, stable, and full of love for the daughter she'd always dreamed of having.
The two mothers promised to keep communication open, so Daisy could have Mia's love and support along with Suzanne's. But as the years passed, Mia moved away, and their visits happened less. Now Daisy is almost a stranger to Mia -- angry, closed and broken -- nothing like the tiny girl she once couldn't bear to say goodbye to.
But now Daisy has arrived on Mia's doorstep, and she says she has a terrible secret. One she can never tell Suzanne. And she believes the only person who can help her is Mia. Her birth mother.
Mia, however, has secrets of her own. Ones she is afraid to let Daisy or anyone else know. And while Suzanne desperately seeks a way to bring her child home, can Mia overcome her past to help the girl they both call their daughter in her darkest hour before it's too late?
Totally gripping emotional women's fiction from the author guaranteed to make readers cry. Kate Hewitt's story will grab you by the heartstrings and never let you go. Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Diane Chamberlain and Jojo Moyes.
