Not My Child

‘I couldn't read it quick enough!! What a storyline, with so many twists and turns that I wasn't expecting. Brilliant read!’ NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Two mothers. One child. Who do you believe?

The playground is the last place I thought I’d see you. It was my Billy’s first day at school. It was supposed to be a happy one.

But then you turned up. I remembered you instantly from the hospital wing. Our babies born on the same day. Both premature. Both needing intensive care.

While Billy grew stronger day by day, your baby sadly slipped away.

But now you’re back with one devastating accusation… Billy isn’t my son at all, he’s yours.

And you’ve come to take him away.

Family secrets rise to the surface in this utterly gripping and emotional page-turner about motherhood, love, and the lengths we will go to keep our children safe. Not My Child will keep you reading long into the night and is perfect for fans of Linda Green, Susan Lewis and Nicole Trope!
