''Page-turning vitality’Daily Mail
‘Virtually unputdownable’ Peterborough Evening Telegraph
Get swept away in an emotional and uplifting saga of family secrets, sacrifice and belonging.
Perfect for fans of Lesley Pearse, Annie Murray, Diane Allen, Dilly Court, and Lyn Andrews.
Hackney, 1989. Nineteen-year-old Fleur Sylvester has lost everything. The grandparents who raised her are gone, and now she must leave their cramped East End flat — the only home she has ever known.
But before she died, Fleur's grandma made her promise that she would find her own mother. The woman who had given her up as a baby.
With nothing but an address in faded ink and a single photograph, Fleur travels to the quiet cathedral town of Elvemere to build a new life of her own.
Then fate brings the two women face to face.
Julia is now the respectable wife of a wealthy businessman, with a comfortable home, a teenage daughter . . . and a twenty-year-old secret that could destroy everything she has built.
Now, after a lifetime apart, a long-lost mother and daughter must decide if they can forgive the past, and finally become a family.
The Mother She Never Knew is the unforgettable story of two women, the choice that kept them apart, and the long road back to each other.
Please note this book was previously published as Thursday’s Child.
Genre: General Fiction
