![]() ![]() There are those of us that are born to be Mothers and there are those that become Mothers simply because its what they feel is expected of them. Thank you to Beauty and Lace and Penguin Random House for the opportunity to read and review this book. They are already saying it will be a book to watch in 2021 and I am sure most that read it will agree. I have tried to not give too much away but I recommend this page-turner. I found the storyline flowed well and it was easy to read it in a day, but it did have you feeling so many emotions throughout. This is a dark novel in places and very confronting, so some readers may find it triggering. While her love blossoms with Baby Sam she still struggles with Violet. When her second child Sam is born, the bond and the connection she dreamt of is there and she finally finds contentment as a mother. Or, is her child capable of these deeds? Her concerns fall on her husband’s deaf ears. Incidents happen over the years as Violet grows and Blythe starts to question if it is all in her head. Violet is always unsettled with her and she feels that something is not right with her daughter. With the pressure of a new baby, their marriage changes over the first year and Blythe feels hollow and exhausted. Her husband is smitten, and in his eyes his daughter is perfect. When Violet is born Blythe waits for that connection, that maternal instinct to kick in but instead, she feels unease. ![]()
