My Daughter’s Mistake is an emotional read, that when read you can’t help feeling emotional for both mothers. Jenna is the mother of Amy Rose a six-year-old who is badly injured when getting knocked down by a car. Ellen is the mother of Maddie, a teenager whose car hit Amy Rose.
This story is told from both mother’s points of view from the day of the accident, the past and the days and weeks that come after.
Will Amy Rose survive? What is Maddie hiding?
This is not all about an accident though, it delves into the lives of both parents living in different worlds but they are not so different after all. It touches upon eating disorders and mental health too.
I could not put this book down, and I had to grab my tissues a few times. It was written so well, it was believable and the mental health side of it happens to more people than you think, which made it very raw for me having lived through something similar.

I thank the author, Kate Hewitt, for not only writing a fantastic book and allowing me to read an advanced copy, but for being true about mental health and the effects it has not only on the person suffering but on the family too. ( )
