I look at my daughter. My darling girl. I remember her tiny hand in mine, her first smile. I recall her tears when she’d tumble over, healed instantly with a band-aid and a little kiss. I have to keep her safe. Even if it means someone else gets hurt…
In the pretty, privileged college town of Milford, New Hampshire, everyone is friendly, everything is safe. And on this cold autumn day, as red and yellow leaves begin to fall from the trees, and everyone wraps up for the first time, it would be easy to believe nothing bad could ever happen here.
Until a screech of tires is heard, a thud, a child’s scream. The crash that sees Jenna’s six-year-old daughter Amy Rose being hit by a car driven by seventeen-year-old Maddie.
Maddie’s mother, Ellen—a college professor with a warm, approachable reputation—insists it must have been an accident. Her daughter is always safe on the road—and she’s vulnerable herself.
But as Amy Rose lies unconscious in hospital, the town begins to take sides. With Ellen, who just wants to defend her daughter. Or with Jenna, a single mother with a past, whose child hovers between life and death…
The truth is that both mothers have secrets they’re trying to keep. And, with Amy Rose’s life hanging in the balance, one of them will stop at nothing to protect the person she loves—her daughter.
An incredible, powerfully emotional and heartbreaking read, with a dilemma that will make everyone wonder what they would do, in either mother’s shoes. Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Jojo Moyes and Diane Chamberlain.

Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews
First, I want to thank Kate Hewitt, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.
I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! You must go out and get Kate Hewitt’s My Daughter’s Mistake and put it on your must read list. Infact put it on the top of your TBR pile! Seriously, this is a book that will stay with you after you are done reading it. So much so that everyone will be talking about this book! My Daughter’s Mistake will give you all the feels and then some!
I knew right when I saw this absolutely beautiful cover, the title and Kate’s name I just had to read this book. Amazing job with Amy Rose’s graphic on the cover of the book-adorable!
Kate Hewitt is the queen of touching and capturing my heartstrings and pulling them hard. Well, she wasted no time in My Daughter’s Mistake! Oh yes! She started in the very first paragraph in the prologue! It didn’t end there though! This is one of the reasons I love her writing!
Two Mother’s nightmares came true from one mistake! I just can't imagine being in either of their shoes!! Kate did a phenomenal job pulling out all the emotional ups and downs in all the characters involved.
For someone like myself who doesn’t have the best health insurance I could relate to Jenna’s situation. I am thankful that Kate brought awareness to this issue.
My Daughter’s Mistake is full of secrets, on the edge of your seat moments, happy times, times you may want your tissues handy, and suspense.
You are in for a treat because this not only has one but TWO shocking shaking my head climatic endings that I didn’t see coming!!
