"A page-turner. All the pieces masterfully come together at the end to create a beautiful novel of courage and love in the face of sorrow." ―Booklist (starred review)
All their lives, Alice Stanhope and her daughter Zoe have been a family of two, living quietly in northern California. Zoe has always struggled with crippling social anxiety and her mother has been her constant and fierce protector. With no family to speak of, and the identity of Zoe’s father shrouded in mystery, their team of two works―until it doesn’t. Until Alice gets sick and needs to fight for her life.
Desperate to find stability for Zoe, Alice reaches out to two women who are practically strangers, but who are her only hope: Kate, a nurse, and Sonja, a social worker. As the four of them come together, a chain of events is set into motion and all four of them must confront their sharpest fears and secrets―secrets about abandonment, abuse, estrangement, and the deepest longing for family. Imbued with heart and humor in even the darkest moments, Sally Hepworth's The Mother’s Promise is an unforgettable audiobook about the unbreakable bonds between mothers and daughters, and the new ways in which families are forged.

I loved this book and cried at the end. I would love to read more of Ms Hepworth's work but will have to wait until I can budget for them. In the meantime, I am delighted to have been able to read this one. I wish I could give it more than five stars!
It covered so many incredibly emotional topics so extremely close to my heart. I have survived cancer but my sister with teenage children didn't. I have been through infertility treatment and Sally totally conveyed exactly how it feels as a woman and the effects it has on a relationship.
I brilliant story of loneliness, family, courage and love. Tearing up again as I write this.
Keep writing Sally 😊
