About this listen

Award-winning author ReShonda Tate Billingsley delivers a poignant novel about the power - and fragility - of family, personal identity, and the choices we are called on to make....

Raised by a widowed mother, Jill Reed has come a long way from her difficult youth. But while she may not have had money, Jill never doubted she was rich in love. Her mother, Connie, made Jill the center of her world. Now, even though she has a young family of her own, it’s Jill’s turn to care for her ailing mother.

When early dementia begins to set in, Connie starts talking about Jill’s “other life.” Jill assumes it’s just rambling confusion. Still, Connie’s stories about Jill’s childhood, and her father’s early death, never quite added up. And when a strange man shows up to Jill’s job bearing news that turns Jill’s life upside down, there’s no denying Connie’s devastating secret.

As Jill sets out to learn more about her past, she’s stunned by what she learns and what it will mean for her future. Now, she must decide what price she’s willing to pay to claim the life that’s rightfully hers.

I thought the story line was very original, was expecting the twists and turns! Spoiler alert.......I didn't understand the lack of anger towards the kidnapper mother and somewhat lack of empathy towards the real mother, despite Gill being a mother herself. Otherwise great story line and would recommend!

Well written

I found the character Jill very annoying and idiotic. Clinging to the lies her kidnapper installed in her she never gave her birth mother a real chance and pushed too much for the kidnapper. Maybe she had a form of Stockholm syndrome. All in all I found Jill’s character insensitive and uncaring towards her birth parents.

Annoying
