About Just Like Her Mother A Tear-Jerking and Emotional Page-turner

If anyone walked in on our cosy family dinner, they'd think my daughter and her boyfriend were the perfect couple. I watch as he puts his arm around her. Her eyes shine as she gazes at him lovingly. But I know that he is hiding a secret. A secret that would devastate my daughter... My son sits across the round oak table, his jaw set as he plays with his food. I catch his eye, pleading with him silently. Not now. Only we know the truth. My husband pulls his beautiful girl in for a hug, and my heart breaks. My happy family is so close to ruin. How much longer can I hold us together? We've all seen the warning signs: Jemma's unanswered phone calls, the too-charming way Will wormed his way into our family, the dark rumours about just how far he'll go to get ahead. I hoped Jemma would uncover his secrets and as I look at her now, I wonder if she's simply playing a part. After all, she's watched me play my roles of loving daughter, perfect wife and devoted mother for years. Is my daughter more like me than I could ever imagine? I steel myself. The only way to get Will out of our lives is for me to finally reveal the secret I've been keeping. But once the truth is out, will Jemma ever trust me again? Or am I about to lose my darling girl forever? An utterly gripping and emotional read about the sacrifices we make for those we love. Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Amanda Prowse and Susan Lewis. See what readers are saying about Julia Roberts: 'Had me hooked from start to finish... Brilliant...
