This weekend I finished To be a mother by Emma Robinson and Wow! It got me good. It can be found here on Amazon (I'll add Waterstones and Barnes and Noble as they stock this awesome book.)
Synopsis
What if your only chance to be a mother was to give birth to his first wife’s child?
All I’ve ever wanted is to be a mother. And since I married David, it’s gone from being a dream of mine, to a dream of ours. And I want it for him too – it’s the happy-ever-after he deserves after the tragic loss of his first wife, Katherine.
We have tried and we’ve hoped. But today I’ve just found out it’s impossible. That I’m unable to become a mother. My heart breaking into thousands of pieces, I beg the doctor to tell me there’s another way.
But it’s David who speaks. Telling me that just before Katherine died, she had gone through fertility treatment. Now her eggs legally belong to David. To us.
It could be my only chance to be the mother I’ve always longed to be… But can I really carry his first wife’s baby?
With dizzying plot twists and emotional, heart-breaking family drama, this powerfully uplifting story is certain to leave readers sobbing. Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Diane Chamberlain and Colleen Hoover.
My review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hannah and her husband David are having trouble conceiving a child naturally and when Hannah gets the bad news that her only options left are donor eggs or adoption she's heartbroken. Then David breaks the news that him and his first wife who tragically died have embryos in 'storage'. Should she carry her husband's first wife's baby?
I love that the book starts out with a letter to her unborn child. I could immediately relate to the main character because I did that too! I also always love when there's a character with my name! (Even if its a smaller role character 😂)
This book is told in dual pints of view. Hannah and Katherine ( the first wife)Through this we get to know both characters rather intimately. But everything is not always what it seems. I can't say too much without revealing too much plot, but this is faced paced, unexpected but oh so beautifully tied up in an ending that's heart-wrenching.
Thank you to @netgalley and @bookouture for this arc copy in exchange for my honest opinions.
