Julia’s daughter Grace is her whole world. To Julia, she’ll always be the little girl who would put her tiny hand in hers, who she could heal with the smallest kiss, who would trust her mother with everything.
But Grace has changed since becoming a teenager. She’s fallen out with her childhood best friend and has become quiet and distanced. Julia wants more than anything to find a way reach her only daughter. Even if some days it seems impossible, Julia knows her lovely, sunny girl is still in there.
Until today when Grace came home after school, covered in blood, and she’s refusing to speak, except to acknowledge that her former best friend is lying in a coma in hospital.
Julia is forced to ask herself: what could Grace be hiding? She can’t believe her little girl could have done something terrible. But her instincts tell her that Grace is keeping a secret. And if it’s what Julia fears it might be, she could lose her fragile, gentle daughter forever.
And – as another mother’s daughter fights for her life – Julia will have to ask herself, how far would she go as a mother to protect the child she loves with her whole heart?
This totally unmissable, heartbreaking, grab-your-tissues story is perfect for fans of Kate Hewitt, Diane Chamberlain and Jodi Picoult.

Only For My Daughter
First, I want to thank Emma Robinson, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.
O.M.G. The queen of tear jerkers switched to the darker and edgier side of Bookouture in Only For My Daughter!!! Emma proved once again how talented she is as a writer! I. FELL. IN. LOVE. WITH. THIS. BOOK!!! It is a 5 star read that you must put on the top of your TBR list!! I pray that she continues to write more edgier emotion filled books like this in the future!
I am a HUGE fan of Emma’s!! I know I am a broken record but every book gets better than the next!! Out of all of them this one is my favorite! I am firm on this one will be relatable to a lot of readers. However, this book does touch on some very sensitive topics that might trigger others. Keep that in mind when you are reading this.
Only For My Daughter would be great for a Mom’s Book Club as Emma puts some very important and sensitive issues. This book would also be a great choice for teen girls or appropriate for school libraries. So many important conversations could be brought up with Emma’s brilliant story!
This book is all about friendship and the great lengths friends will go for each other! It is a truly beautifully written book that if you are a parent will hold your daughter a little bit tighter!
Emma’s book is totally addictive, fast paced, nail biting, suspenseful, mind blowing, heart wrenching, and had me wanting more!! I couldn’t get enough and wanted more stories like this from her!
You could say that Emma was very passionate about telling these characters' stories!
Emma flips between the present day and the past so we get a better understanding of the whole picture. Some of the storylines were hard to swallow andI wanted to reach out to the characters and hug them! There were times I was yelling and screaming at my kindle due to certain situations!! It is definitely an emotionally driven storyline!
Emma would like to dedicate this book to Ali who has always believed in her!
Emma always has the sweetest and beautiful covers! However, looks can be deceiving! Yes, this book will pull on your heart strings and shed a tear but not for the reason you think!!
I love how Bookouture’s own Kim Nash gave Emma the idea of this storyline. Emma did a fantastic job at all the research she had to do for this book!!
