WOW!! Amy is a frustrated, angry mother who has a rocky, abusive relationship with her 5 year old daughter. Sarah sees them struggling and wants to give Emma a better life. I hated Amy but I really did understand how she felt and I totally understood Sarah's desire to give a child everything she never had. A wonderful book that had me anxious and morally conflicted!

I'm having a serious moral dilemma reading this!!!! LOL... Great writing and I'm getting crazy anxious reading it!!

Elizabeth2 I felt the same way. It‘s a tense, stressful book! 3y
IamIamIam @Elizabeth2 Right?! I'm really impressed!! I didn't expect much from it because that lessens disappointment, lol... 3y

I didn't think much about reading this book and I think I got it from one of those Prime Reads offers. I was looking around on my Kindle for something to read and I literally don't want to put this down!!!

Ever watch a movie that is so tense it makes you uncomfortable? That is this book. I don‘t like movies like that, but the advantage of a stressful book is that you can close it & walk away. As long as the suspense doesn‘t grab you...& this book is immensely suspenseful. Emma‘s mother is cruel. Sarah notices, & then decides to do something about it. Excellent discussion book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 ⬇️More below

My #doublespin for September. @TheAromaofBooks

Elizabeth2 The plot has some holes and is a bit unrealistic, but the story moves along at a tense speed that made the holes a little less bothersome. I was very surprised at the way the author was able to evoke sympathy for an unlikable character, which is how I arrived at 4⭐️. 4y
TheAromaofBooks Sounds intense!! When my little brother was little, if a movie got too intense, he would stand behind the couch (our living room was set up with the couch towards the middle of the room, not against a wall) & literally jump up & down because he was so full of nervous energy haha 4y
Elizabeth2 @TheAromaofBooks lol! That‘s how I felt reading this book. 😂 I had to talk about it, so every time I would put it down, I‘d fill in my husband on what was happening. He now feels like he read the book. 🤣 4y
TheAromaofBooks A couple of years ago I was doing a bunch of reading set just before WWI & every day when my husband got home from work I would update him on what had “happened“ that day like it was current news! 😂 4y

Frey explores what exactly does it mean to be a mother. Do you have to give birth to a child to be a mother, and just because you have a child, does it actually make you a mother? Besides the theme of motherhood, love and sacrifice are also topics whose undercurrents are felt throughout the story. There is such depth to this subject matter, and this book is a perfect book club choice because of it.

What a solid debut! Absolutely stunning!

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Emma Grace, five years old with startling gray eyes, can never do anything to suit her exceedingly unhappy mother. When a friendly stranger offers to take her away from her tumultuous home, she goes willingly. What plays out will make you question your heart, morals, and sanity.

This isn‘t the type of book I‘d normally pick up, but I‘m happy I did especially after realizing Frey is a local Nashville author. Solid debut fiction.

RadicalReader @britt_brooke you find the best books when you least expect to 5y

This is a fast- paced read, and I loved so many aspects of the book. However, the ending seemed completely unrealistic and too rushed. I needed a bit more explanation to answer a few burning questions, but overall the book kept me enthralled. It's a hard moral dilemma knowing that a girl should be with her family, but does that still apply when they are abusive and neglectful??

This is another thriller that took off fast and kept flying till the end. A woman sees a little girl being abused by her mother, so she makes the decision to get the little girl to leave with her. From there they are on the run from law enforcement. The ending of this book surprised me. I really liked it!

???? #BookClubPick #BookwormProblems #LibrarianLife #ForTheLoveOfBooks

These are the 2 picks my book club is voting on for our Oct read.
See a theme anyone?? (??) Lol.

Both happen to be on my GoodReads #TBR but after much deliberation AND seeing the much raved about reviews there & on here, I voted for "Not Her Daughter." We'll see if that one wins.?

Not to mention that the cover is giving me totally fabulous Fall vibes!?????

RadicalReader @MarticaMustRead I would read both lol I like the cover of the book on the left 6y
MarticaMustRead That's my plan lol @RadicalReader !😁 6y

Amazing - exciting! Two women – one child. Which woman is a “real mother”? What does it take to be a “good” mother? Beautifully written - and so difficult to put down. How dare life get in the way when I have such a phenomenal book to read! Emotionally wrenching! Suspenseful! I loved it!! Perfect book club read!
