Synopsis

Gripping, emotional, and wire-taut, Rea Frey's Not Her Daughter raises the question of what it means to be a mother—and how far someone will go to keep a child safe.

"Brings to mind Jodi Picoult...thought-provoking domestic drama." - Booklist

“Will make you miss your bedtime, guaranteed.” – Bestselling author Kimberly Belle

Emma Townsend. Five years old. Gray eyes, brown hair. Missing since June.

Emma is lonely. Living with her cruel mother and clueless father, Emma retreats into her own world of quiet and solitude.

Sarah Walker. Successful entrepreneur. Broken-hearted. Kidnapper.

Sarah has never seen a girl so precious as the gray-eyed child in a crowded airport terminal. When a second-chance encounter with Emma presents itself, Sarah takes her—far away from home. But if it’s to rescue a little girl from her damaging mother, is kidnapping wrong?

Amy Townsend. Unhappy wife. Unfit mother. Unsure whether she wants her daughter back.

Amy’s life is a string of disappointments, but her biggest issue is her inability to connect with her daughter. And now Emma is gone without a trace.

As Sarah and Emma avoid the nationwide hunt, they form an unshakeable bond. But what about Emma’s real mother, back at home?

2, this book has more plot holes than swiss cheese stars!!! I'll start this by saying I really, really wanted to like this book. When a novel with such high ratings falls totally and completely flat for me I get a bit nervous about leaving the lone bad review. However, it would be a disservice to rat......more

Goodreads review by Mary Beth on April 28, 2019

Emma decided to go into the woods and Amy, her mother, tells her I have told you so many times not to go into the woods. She tells her to get over here right now. It's time to go inside. Emma reaches for her- an apology, or a hug, and Amy lifts her right hand and strikes her daughter across the face......more

A book that blurs the line between right and wrong... good and bad... lies and truth... what makes a “good“ mother? Blood? Love?
