Mollie’s missing.’ As I look at my husband, I struggle to take in his words. For years, I’ve been so focussed on our son, who needed me to care for him. I’ve sacrificed so much to make him feel safe. But have I put my own daughter’s life in danger?

When we discovered we were having twins, a boy and a girl, I couldn’t believe our luck. Within months we would have the perfect family we’d always dreamed of.

The first few years were so happy. Our house was chaotic but full of love just as it should be. But as the years passed, we had to acknowledge that our sonBen needed a lot more support than Mollie. I had no choice but to put his needs first. I wanted him to have the best life possible. But it came at a devastating cost.

Now, Mollie is missing. Clasping my husband’s hands for the first time in years, we start to piece together any reason for why she disappeared. Mollie was a straight-A student, a perfect daughter, a loyal friend. As my husband looks at me in fear, I’m forced to confront a truth I have spent years trying to hide.

They say it is impossible to choose a favourite child. But years ago, during a house fire I had to do just that. I had to push one child to safety ahead of the other. I chose my son. Now I’m forced to question whether my dear daughter has always remembered what I did. Am I the real reason she disappeared? And will I ever see her again?

An absolutely unputdownable and tear-jerking read about the strength of a mother’s love. Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Kate Hewitt and Diane Chamberlain.

The Favorite Child

Written By Emma Robinson

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Emma Robinson, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review. 

WOW!! My heart was beating out of my chest reading the first chapter of The Favourite Child!! It was an incredibly intense scene that had me biting my already short nails and praying for the best outcome. If Emma Robinson writes a book you know I need to read and review it! She is one of my favorite authors! Nobody can pull on my heart strings like she can! 

In The Favourite Child transported me back to my teenage years where I empathize wholeheartedly with everything that Mollie was going through. There were so many times I just wanted to jump in the book and give her a comforting hug of support. This is a book you are going to want to put on your TBR list for sure. 

I appreciated that Emma introduced a character with Autism into the story. In doing so she brought awareness to the disorder showing how it affects others in the family. 

Emma is known for her tear jerkers but this time she throws a bit of mystery into play as Mollie winds up missing.
