From Little Stack
Hannah, a widowed young mom trying to be better than her own mother, loses her daughters to foster care in this book club perfect novel. As she works to get her daughters back, two other women fight for custody of the girls: Elaine, Hannah’s mother and the girls’ grandmother, who yearns for a second chance after an estranged relationship with her own daughter; and Julie, the compassionate single foster mom currently caring for the girls.
This is a book that will make you think deeply about motherhood, raising questions about parental rights and what’s really best for children.
In this hopeful debut about the silent struggles of motherhood, three very different women want custody of the same two little girls—and learn they have more in common than the children they're fighting for.
Determined to be a better mother than her own, Hannah has devoted her life to her daughters. She ignores her increasing exhaustion and isolation as a widowed mom—until a disastrous mistake lands the girls in foster care.
Julie is single and lonely and dreams of being a mother. After infertility issues lead her to foster parenting, she falls head over heels for Hannah's daughters. The more she bonds with these sweet, precocious girls, the more she worries about their previous home life and becomes intent on finding a way to keep them.
Recently forced into retirement, Elaine is devastated by the way her daughter, Hannah, has shut her out. When she discovers her granddaughters are in foster care, she resolves to rescue them from the system: her one chance at a parenting do-over.
Each woman thinks she's the best possible mother, but none understands the full truth. Old hurts, long-held secrets, and budding new relationships collide as they fight for the girls who could make them a family.
