My Only Daughter: A gripping and emotional tale of a mother’s love by Ann O’Loughlin
‘I love you, and you are my daughter, no matter what anyone says. Nobody can take you from me.’
In beautiful Rathmoney House nestled by the wild Irish Sea, Margo sits in her black suit, three strings of pearls at her neck, nodding at those offering their condolences. She never thought she would be here without her beloved husband. All she has left is their beautiful daughter Elsa and a house full of memories. Then, she receives a letter that turns everything she thought she knew on its head...
When Margo learns that her daughter was accidentally switched at birth with an American child and Elsa is not in fact her biological daughter, her world shatters. American Cassie and her daughter Tilly are equally shocked to learn about this tragic mistake, and both parents are terrified about the prospect of their daughters being taken away.
Margo and Cassie know that together they must protect their daughters, both biological and not. Cassie and Tilly fly to Ireland, and with the help of the local community they must learn to support each other through the most difficult times.
Will they be able to find a new version of family, or will the shocking revelation force them apart forever?

First, I want to thank Ann O’Loughlin, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.
Ohh My Only Daughter by Ann O’Loughlin will pull on your heart strings BIG TIME! Ann’s story is every parent’s worst nightmare come to life on so many levels. It is a beautifully written story that will have you on the edge of your seat awaiting the outcome! This is a book that readers will be talking about way after you finish the book. Not to mention hold your loved ones a little closer.
Bookouture’s graphic artists yet again created a breathtaking cover! They totally embraced the concept of the book.
Even though I am not a parent I had sheer empathy for everything that Cassie was going through. I couldn’t imagine the pain and heartbreak when she heard the news! Actually, it is like something ripped from the headlines.
Tilly’s character pulled hard on my heart strings badly as she was dealt with very adult situations at such a young age.
