A review by debthebee
The Heart of a Mother by Julie Clark

4.0

Should others know about your obsessions?

Hillary was seperated from her baby and she has lately felt regrets, as couldn't conceive again, even though at the time when she gave birth she was too young to be a mother. When an opportunity to find her daughter through DNA ancestry arises, she jumps at the opportunity - but was her obsession over her lost daughter a bit too public by that time?

This was a smooth read and you could strongly connect to the driving emotions of Hillary, as a mother. In my opinion, this story was well conceptualised, it covers an important and emotionally difficult topic, and has a great ending.

The ideal target audience for this book would be mostly women, whether mothers or not yet.

I an rating this short story 4/5 stars just because it's not my favorite genre, but I haven't seen major flaws in it. I find this to be the best story in the Obsession collection so far.
