Book Review: "My Husband's Daughter" By Emma Robinson

Will you be good enough?

What if someone knocks on your door and unexpectedly announces he/she is your child from a previous relationship?

Wonder no more as Emma Robinson has put this question on the front burner to sizzle like never before and boy oh boy is it a harrowing, deeply emotion, and loving heart-tugging read!
Imagine if you will your ex-girlfriend or boyfriend arrives with a 4 year old claiming it's yours while in a relationship with another individual?

Could you open your heart, mind, and soul and simply alter the trajectory of everyone's lives by becoming a parent on a whim?

Cara is this ex-girlfriend with a personal story to tell that disturbs the entire set-up.
She's holding the hand of 4 yo daughter Sophie when she arrives at Jack and Rebecca's home.

His girlfriend Rebecca was shocked that he'd not known all this time but equally perplexed as to how to handle this as grown adults.

Rebecca ultimately decided to take the high road in fashion!
Cara meanwhile announces she has a ill fated course in life and it requires all hands on deck.

My word, this is a Kleenex moment like you've never seen.

Believe it or not, I had a similar occurrence with my ex-spouse in which he was a womanizer and had multiple affairs bringing two women to seek alternatives to parenting including but not limited to adoption of these 'love children.'

Subsequently, upon divorcing I've learned that one of the two is still actively engaged with him nearly 30 yrs later even while a new 'married' woman is residing in our former home.

It's quite an interesting tale to behold but one in which I'd never want to partake in again as I'm simply not able to handle this type of truth knowing he walked out and left his own three biological kids homeless, bankrupt, and their mom (me) LT unemployed without income, assets, or credit or for that matter having to had give up a career for 20 yrs of child rearing now unable to re-enter the workforce successfully (10 year job search with a dual masters plus 20 yrs volunteering to fill the gap) and Points of Light Awardee by 41st President of USA.

I'm not Rebecca but I'm also not in Cara's shoes not fully as I do have similar conditions that are progressively worsening but not yet fatal. 

NOT YET...is key as it's a fatal blood disorder (HUS) that I now possess and yes, my own former spouse has been slightly more helpful in that regard.

Thank you to Emma, the pub, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
