Description
County Wicklow, Ireland. Margo has just lost her husband Conor and is grieving his passing, unsure how she and her daughter Elsa will survive without him. Then she receives a letter that turns everything she thought she knew on its head. Not only has she lost her husband, but now Margo fears she could lose her daughter as well.
Ohio, United States. Cassie has just split from her husband acrimoniously. Upset and alone she does not know how to move forward. Then her ex-husband demands a paternity test for their daughter Tilly and sorrow turns to anger as Cassie faces the frightening possibility of losing her daughter.
A powerful, moving stories of family, resilience and compassion, and how women support each other through the most difficult times, My Mother's Daughter takes the issues closest to our hearts and makes us ask ourselves the most difficult questions - what would we do in Margo and Cassie's place?

An absolutely stunning novel that had me gripped from the first pages. I've been a fan of Ann O'Loughlin since her first book and she simply never disappoints. My Mother's Daughter tells the story of Margo and Cassie, their daughters and the discovery of a connection they never knew existed. I absolutely loved this book, O'Loughlin has a beautiful way with words and keeps the reader captivated from start to finish. The plot is engrossing and the characters are endearing.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for this ARC

My Mother’s Daughter is my first read by this author and it certainly won’t be my last.
Two mothers who love their daughters with everything they’ve got.
Two women trying hard to move on from heartbreak.
Two women who knows nothing of the others existence until fate intervenes.
This is a powerful read that gave me goosebumps while reading it. I was so engrossed in it everything around me
When I was in my early twenties I read quite a few books from Irish authors. This author will definitely be added to my favourite Irish authors.
