I never read books like this but so glad that I read this one. It was beautiful, moving and so heart warming. The characters were wonderful and so well developed.
This was a fantastic family which made me shed a few tears. I will definitely be recommending this drama to everyone.
It was Just wonderful have a tissue ready.

My Stepmother's Secret by Emma Robinson is another fabulous read from this not to be missed author. It is, at its core, a domestic drama that touches on themes of bullying, addiction, and the love of family.

Gabbie is travelling to her childhood home, now occupied solely by the stepmother with whom she has always had a prickly relationship. Taking her daughters away from a home they love and a father they adore seems to be the only sensible course for Gabbie, but it remains unclear as to why this might be the case. Returning to her family home brings up memories of her school days, and an alternate timeline reveals the bullying that she endured. In the here and now, Gabbie struggles to reconcile with her past while finding a way to move forward with her two daughters.

Emma Robinson has crafted a tale of a family in crisis with astuteness and sensitivity and, as always, has created a cast of characters that will find their way directly into your heart. 4.5 stars

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for an ARC.

Beautiful, moving and heart warming. I could go on with so many more words like this. Just absolutely wonderful characters, each so well thought through I feel like I am missing friends now I have finished it.
There is nothing quite like a family drama to make me feel all the feels, and I confess my eyes were quite leaky when I finished.
Just wonderful, a must read.

Thank you NetGalley for this advanced copy. This book covered some good topics: addiction, bullying in childhood and how it can effect you as a parent, etc. I did think it was a little slow, but the characters were realistic and likeable. I work with people with addictions and this book shows how addiction can cause one to spiral out of control and lose everything. Very real.

I really liked this book. This talented author has written a book that is just fun. It is a quick read with realistic characters. There are family dynamics that move the story, and there are secrets that keep the reader intrigued. The protagonist has two daughters, with problems, and a husband who is dishonest. She takes the girls to go and live in her family home with her stepmother. She has never cared for her stepmother, but she hopes it will work out. The story would make a great television movie. This book was sent to me electronically by Netgalley for review. Thanks to the publisher and the author.
