I'm delighted to share my blog tour spot for Catherine Miller's latest book!
Synopsis
As I stare at the girl, I feel my heart pound inside my chest. There she is, my daughter, right in front of me after all this time. I have to reach her, to hold her, before I lose her all over again…
I have experienced what no mother should: I have lost my child. Many years ago, after my divorce, my daughter moved in with her father, and then went missing...
For years, I searched everywhere for my darling girl, but she had vanished without a trace. But even on my darkest days, when my heart felt truly broken, I kept a hope alive inside – a hope that my little girl would, one day, find her way back to me.
And now, standing in front of me, so close I could touch her, is a young woman who looks just like my beloved Tilly. I’ve been reminded of her so many times over the years, but this is different. The curve of her face, the sound of her voice…
But just as my heart leaps with unimaginable joy, she disappears into the crowd and I lose sight of her. I can’t believe she has gone before I had the chance to reach her.
As I desperately scan the faces around me, my heart pounding in my chest, I realise I am certain that she was my little girl, back after all these years. But why would she seek me out now, just to vanish all over again? And how can I find her? Because no matter how much time has passed, she will always be my little girl… And I will do whatever it takes to hold her in my arms once more.
My Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yvonne made some poor decisions and, as a result, lost all contact with her daughter. After putting her life back together and doing a complete 180, someone arrives, claiming to be her long-lost daughter.
Told in two points of view, Yvonne communicating with her long-lost daughter via text, email, and letters: in almost a diary format helping her cope with her circumstances and deal with her pain, and from the daughter's perspective. This story is about loss, heartache, and found family it was mysterious and intriguing and, at the same time, a heart-wrenching book.
Without giving too much away, I'm so glad at the end result of the circumstances in the book, a very lovely positive outcome.
Topics like gambling, loss of family, hard times, mental illness, and controlling behaviour are all dealt with, with sensitivity and compassion.
And I'm always a sucker for found family.
About the author
When Catherine Miller became a mum to twins, she decided her hands weren’t full enough so wrote a novel with every spare moment she managed to find. By the time the twins were two, Catherine had a two-book deal with Carina UK. Her debut novel, Waiting For You, came out in March 2016.
Catherine was a NHS physiotherapist, but for health reasons she retired early from this career. As she loved her physiotherapy job, she decided if she couldn’t do that she would pursue her writing dream. It took a few years and a couple of babies, but in 2015 she won the Katie Fforde bursary, was a finalist in the London Book Fair Write Stuff Competition and highly commended in Woman magazine’s writing competition. Since then she’s had four novels published.
