Could you take in your best friendā€™s child, even if it risked destroying your own family?


Jo had thought that her life ā€“ and her heart ā€“ was full. With a busy job, a husband and a teenage daughter who is going off the rails, keeping her life running smoothly had already felt hard enough.


But now Jo sits at the funeral of her best friend Ginny, crushed by the loss of a friendship that had endured for thirty years: from college and their first days at work through to settling down and raising their own children.


Against her husbandā€™s wishes, Jo has made a life-changing decision: to take in Ginnyā€™s teenage son Victor and raise him as her own. Despite her misgivings, Jo feels she had no choice: Ginny was a single parent and Victor had no other family who could take care of him.


But Victorā€™s arrival is about to break open the fragile cracks that were already forming on the surface of Joā€™s family life and in her small rural communityā€¦ and expose a secret that has remained hidden for many years, with devastating consequences.


From the bestselling author of The Silent Wife and The Woman I Was Before, Another Womanā€™s Child is an unputdownable and heartbreaking read about the secrets we keep from our families, and the sacrifices we are willing to make for those we love. Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Liane Moriarty and Diane Chamberlain.

This was a fantastic story! I have not read anything by Kerry Fisher in the past, but that will definitely be changing. I love her writing style and character development. The plot was excellent and believable to me. The flow was really good, adding constantly to the tension until the ending. This is definitely an un-put-downable book! I had the Kindle version, which was wonderful, so I could switch from reading to listening (text-to-speech). This is a book I wanted to get to the final chapter to see how the story would end, but at the same time, I did not want it to end. This is an excellent book and I highly recommend it! I want to thank Bookouture and NetGalley for allowing me to read the Advanced Reader Copy. My review is my own opinion not influenced by receiving the ARC.

I LOVED reading this book! thank you Kerry for bringing out such a reality of subtle racism in our society. Its so entertaining, sad, some times funny and so close the heart of mothers with teenage children. More stories like this, pleasešŸ™‚
