Summary
Could you take in your best friend’s child, even if it risked destroying your own family?
Jo had thought that her life - and her heart - was full. With a busy job, a husband and a teenage daughter who is going off the rails, keeping her life running smoothly had already felt hard enough.
But now Jo sits at the funeral of her best friend, Ginny, crushed by the loss of a friendship that had endured for 30 years: from college and their first days at work through to settling down and raising their own children.
Against her husband’s wishes, Jo has made a life-changing decision: to take in Ginny’s teenage son, Victor, and raise him as her own. Despite her misgivings, Jo feels she had no choice: Ginny was a single parent, and Victor had no other family who could take care of him.
But Victor’s arrival is about to break open the fragile cracks that were already forming on the surface of Jo’s family life and in her small rural community...and expose a secret that has remained hidden for many years, with devastating consequences.
From the best-selling author of The Silent Wife and The Woman I Was Before, Another Woman’s Child is an gripping and heartbreaking listen about the secrets we keep from our families and the sacrifices we are willing to make for those we love. Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Liane Moriarty and Diane Chamberlain.

Sad but enjoyable
I did not think I’d be able to listen as it started with Ginny speaking and I found her voice jarring (I do enjoy this narrator though and I’m in awe of their talent) because she sounded so old yet she was in her 40’s. However, she doesn’t speak for long so I’m glad I persevered.
It’s a bit sad, and the pettiness and blinkers within the community was hard to take. I didn’t like Patrick in the beginning and it just seemed like a completely dysfunctional family with a daughter they had no control over and nobody liked each other. In the end I thoroughly enjoyed it.

heart breaking and heart warming!
It makes you think and appreciate family and friends. Empathetic and thought provoking. I wasn’t sure that this book was for me ….. but I’m glad I listened and will look out for this author again.

lovely book
I'm a big fan of Kerry Fisher. I love the way she tackles every day 'issues' and has a talent to write about them in a sensitive way.
Emma Spurgin Hussey as a narrator is excellent!

Great read
I have become a fan of Kerry Fisher. I stumbled upon one of her books and have now listened to four!!
This one has been as excellent as the others
Emma Spurgin Hussey adds to the experience and narrates beautifully.
If you like light hearted reads - but need it to be realistic and being able to feel some connection - then try Kerry
