The Other Mother by Rachel M. Harper
5.0
I don't have enough words to express how much I liked this book. The only time I put it down was to work and to sleep.
On the surface, The Other Mother is a story about a young man finding out about an entire half of his family he knew nothing about. How it came to be that way, how he finds out, and the aftermath. But it's also about so much more than that: what defines family relationships, the lies people tell in an attempt to make things better for everyone else, the sacrifices we make either for our careers or for our families.
I felt so strongly connected to all the characters even when I didn't agree with what they were doing.
I received a free copy of this book in a Goodreads giveaway, but I'm very glad that I did as this is not a book that fits the usual genres I like but I am so glad to have read it.
