"A totally gripping, BRAND NEW heartbreaking read about love and families from Lisa Timoney, that readers of Jodi Picoult, Jojo Moyes, and Emma Robinson will love. ???????? 'What happens if Daddy dies? Who would I live with?' Katie loves her 6-year-old stepdaughter Maisie with all her heart. The time they spend together, the feel of the little girl's hand in her own, means everything to her, especially after she discovers she and her husband, Liam, can't have children together. But since Maisie's mum died, she's mostly been living with her sister, Liam's adult daughter, Olivia - and the two have become inseparable. The problem is that Olivia hates her stepmother and refuses to accept her as part of their lives. Katie wants nothing more than to step up in Maisie's life, even to formally adopt her, so they can become the proper family she's always longed for. But Olivia can't let that happen, and when she meets the man of her dreams, she begins to believe that she alone can offer her sister the security she needs. When tragedy strikes, the two women both want what's best for the girl they love more than life itself, but when their lives take another unexpected turn, they each discover quite how much they have to lose.

The Daughter She Gave Away - An emotional, page-turning family drama from Lisa Timoney (Unabridged)
"A completely heartbreaking story about the impossible dilemmas two mothers find themselves facing. Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Amanda Prowse, and Emma Robinson. 'I promise.' Meg kissed the top of her daughter's head, tears welling in her eyes. 'I'll never leave you, my beautiful girl. Never.' At the time, she'd meant every word. But now she had to break that promise... When Meg gets a terrible diagnosis, her only thought is for her family. How will her husband Simon and their beautiful, sweet-hearted, 14-year-old daughter Grace cope when she's gone? She also knows that she has to finally tell Grace the secret they've kept from Grace her whole life. That, though Simon is Grace's father, she isn't Grace's birth mother. Because Simon was married before, and his first wife, Cassie, hadn't wanted to keep their baby. So Simon and she had stepped up. They'd given Grace the life she deserved, full of light and happiness. But in the family's darkest hour, Meg thinks Grace deserves the choice to meet the mother who gave her up... because she's the only mother she will have left. Could you risk destroying the family you've worked so hard to create, if it meant your child might get the chance to have a mother again? Even though you can't know whether her birth mother will ever be able to offer her the love your beloved daughter deserves?
