Sarah Westfield wasn’t sure she even wanted to be a wife, let alone a mother. Her husband Nick is for all intents and purposes a great guy, but she thinks her marriage is a mistake and wants to put it behind her. But Nick wants a baby. Sarah is not sure, but then decides maybe a baby would make her marriage all it could be. So she agrees….and is pregnant before she knows it.

Their little family changes forever when their baby disappears on a family outing.

Valerie Keogh is a master at creating characters with depth and plots with great twists. The Mother is no exception. This is a book that, for me, had me waiting to pick it up again when I had to put it down. I look forward to every offering from this author.
