It’s just past ten o’clock on a cold Friday evening when Rebecca and Jack‘s doorbell rings. Outside, a woman holds the hand of a shivering, blue-eyed, four-year-old girl. Who she claims is Jack’s daughter.
Rebecca’s world stops. How could Jack not have known his ex-girlfriend Cara was pregnant? Becoming parents has never been part of their life plan.
But Cara needs them. Because Cara has a devastating secret that she can’t tell anyone yet. Not even her daughter. A secret with the power to change all of their lives.
A secret that will ultimately mean Rebecca has to ask herself – can she find it in herself to welcome her husband’s child into her home, and into her heart?
A heartbreaking and powerful emotional women’s fiction novel about love, friendship and what it truly means to be a parent, perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes, Jodi Picoult and Kate Hewitt.
What readers say about My Husband’s Daughter:
‘Oh my days, what a tear jerker! I have such a book hangover!… I can’t remember the last time I read a whole book in one sitting… I have been glued to the edge of my seat! I should mention that tissues are a must! I cried more than once (I lost count) and am still wiping away the tears as I write this. The story is so heart breaking but beautifully written that some parts had me both sad but smiling at the same time… Absolutely brilliant!!‘ Goodreads Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘I don’t even know where to begin to review this absolutely gut-wrenching, beautiful story… I have never audibly sobbed or struggled to read a book through tears, but this one was tough…. I cannot express the need for everyone to read this book… It is just beautiful and I think it gives a lot for people to learn from in their own lives too.’ Goodreads Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘Oh my goodness – what a beautiful, heart wrenching, ugly-cry-making book!… Twists and turns like you wouldn’t expect from this genre, and just fantastic characterisation… it really really makes you think (and cry) – go read it!!!!’ Goodreads Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘Blooming hell! What did Emma Robinson do to me with this book?… The most touching story I’ve read for a long time, so bravo to the author… An amazing story of compassion and selflessness… This is an absolutely brilliant five star read and not one to be missed!’ NetGalley Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘WHAT A TEAR JERKER… Keep the tissues really close to your side throughout… Will pull hard on your heart strings… If I could give this 10 stars I definitely would.’ Goodreads Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘Will make you cry and laugh, feel things you have not even thought about … A story that is so touching, extremely emotional, and ultimately heart provoking… I haven’t read anything so original for a long time.’ The Magical World of Reading ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘Have a box, no two boxes, of tissues at the ready… A beautifully written, heart wrenching story of love and loss… It will stay with you.’ Cypresscornerreads⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘Wow!!! Where to even begin?? Mind you, it’s hard enough to write this with blurry eyes through tears!!… Absolutely heartbreaking and a real tear jerker.’ Kirsty Whitlock ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
