Woman on the Edge by Samantha M. Bailey

5.0

I really enjoyed this book of a young mother frantic and desperate who shoved her baby into the arms of another woman and then falls into the path of a moving train. Nicole is the successful CEO of Breathe, a company she began. She is a new mother, her baby girl is named Quinn after Nicole’s mother.
Morgan is a widow, her husband committed suicide after he was exposed for fraud. Morgan desperately wants a baby.
This is the story of two women who are connected by their love of children. However, Morgan doesn’t understand why Nicole selected her. Nicole doesn’t trust those around her- her husband Greg, her brother Ben, or even her best friend Tessa. She is also terrified of Donna, the mother of the child Amanda who died years earlier while in Nicole’s care. This is also a story of greed, desperation, postpartum depression, and manipulation. You will be guessing and second guessing yourself throughout the book. The author plants several clues to make you suspect multiple people. There are a few times when I thought I knew, but then something would lead me in a different direction. I was correct, but I doubted myself on many occasions.
I look forward to reading more from this author. Great debut!
