Not Noah. Not my husband . But there he is, unconscious in the hospital bed. Our daughter sobs into my shoulder. We love him so much. What if he never wakes up? And who is the little girl beside him, gazing up at us with big, tear-filled brown eyes? Eyes that look just like my husband’s… Our family of three is perfect. Just me, Noah and our teenage daughter Maya. The day the police knock at our door, telling us about the car accident, is the worst day of my life. My heart shatters, but what they say next almost makes it stop beating: Noah was in the car with another woman who died at the scene. Her two-year-old girl, Luna , miraculously survived. With Noah fighting for his life, I’m desperate for the truth: and when I search his desk, I find checks made out to Luna’s mother. Did my loving, loyal husband have a secret family all along? Despite my own terrible pain, at the hospital I can’t help but comfort this poor child as she cries for her mommy. With nowhere else for Luna to go, I find myself opening our home. Seeing Maya hold Luna’s hand and giggle as they chase butterflies in the garden, it’s almost like my daughter has a sister… I have an impossible choice. Do I tell Maya the truth about her father? If Noah wakes up, will even more secrets come out about who he really is? And can I forgive him enough to give this sweet, innocent girl a home… or will my husband’s betrayal tear us all apart? Fans of Jodi Picoult’s My Sister’s Keeper , Kate Hewitt and Diane Chamberlain will adore this absolutely unputdownable read about how the people we love most can hide the darkest secrets.

Truly amazing and heart felt!
I found it very difficult to put this book down at the end of the day, and not be thinking about the various characters. Each character is well developed, and interesting. The story is not long, which means there is no meandering plot. You can see each of the main characters develop along the way, and it is not always a predictable development. There are many twists and turns. The only thing missing was I wanted to know more about the lives of each individual as the story came to an end. I really enjoyed this book, and would recommend to anyone who is not interested in a long drawn out story, that holds your attention, and surprises you along the way.

Not really gripping or heartbreaking 3.5 stars rounded up
Very predictable story. But it's an easy read if you're looking for a lighter weight novel, maybe after having just completed a novel with some heft to it. Rounding up to 4 stars because it did hold my interest and I finished it in half a day.

Mediocre
This book is easy to read and engaging. However, the book had numerous typos that even a first grader would notice. I liked the overall plot but the ending seemed very Lifetime movie like. The ending felt thrown together, which made me feel my time had been wasted. I didn’t regret reading, but it’s also not a book I would highly recommend. It’s a decent airplane book.

Secrets, lies and unexpected discoveries.
What a great book. I went in thinking it would be something completely different than what it was. It was well written and had me feeling all the feels. I loved the way it played out. Emma had a lot to deal with after Noah's accident, but she handled it all. I suspected that Noah was lying about his past, because the man outside of the church as a hint. BUT, I never expected to be what it turned out to be. I cried a few tears throughout this book, but that ending had a little more than a few tears streaming down my cheeks. This was my first book by this author, and I will definitely check out her other books.

His Secret Daughter
It was an excellent story. Many surprises and very heart breaking scenes. Could not put the book down. Every chapter had another question to find the answer to which kept me reading.

Emotional ride
This was such a heart wrenching story. Though told from Emma's PoV , the central character is Noah whose life and choices are what the story is about. It really broke my heart to think that he had it all in the end but death stepped in to snatch everything away. It was so easy to relate to the 3 'musketeers', though 2 of them are mere names in it.

This book will make you cry. Noah is injured in a car accident and left in a coma. He was in the car with another woman and child. While he stays in a coma, Emma his wife follows a trail to get answers about who her husband really was and who the child’s father is. A really good read.

schwach
Es taugt gerade mal ‚leichte“ Urlaubslektüre. Wäre es ein Film, dann einer mit Minamalbudget, möglichst wenige Charaktere, wenige Handlungsorte, minimalistisch Kulissen.
