My Stepmother's Secret: An incredibly powerful and heartbreaking story about a family dilemma

Product Information

Of course, you don't stop loving someone, but you can not make yourself, and especially your children, a victim of their addiction. I also felt a sense of relief by the end of the book that the truth had been exposed and the layers of generational pain might finally be broken. As a fan of women's fiction, I would highly recommend My Stepmother's Secret to anyone looking for a captivating and thought-provoking read. Stepmom’s parents came to our house for Christmas and while they were mostly nice people, they kept telling their daughter how proud they were of her for “stepping up and being a mother to these children”.

In every book she has written she has managed to completely pull me in and make me feel all the emotions and this book is no different. Gabbie just might get the chance to reconcile her past with the present, and also map out something positive for the future of herself as well as her daughters. A teen with a reputation for telling lies and creating trouble witnesses her new stepmother murder a man in a vacant parking lot.I am also a huge fan of Emma and if this is half as good as 'My Husband's Daughter', 'To Save My Child', 'Only For My Daughter', 'To Be A Mother', 'His First Wife's Secret' it is sure to be a page turning read. From the very beginning, the reader is captivated by the mystery of why Gabbie had to leave her home with her children and seek help from her estranged stepmother. Emma has such an amazing talent and is always able to weave serious domestic and other topics into an emotional rollercoaster ride of a story and she has covered several in this amazing book.
