Synopsis – When You Were Mine
One mistake could change their lives forever…
My life is a mess. My marriage is falling apart, and I’d hoped the arrival of our baby girl would bring us closer together. Yet, as she grows, I see less of a resemblance to my husband, stirring unsettling questions.
I was hoping a visit from my friend, Victoria would bring some stability. With her seemingly perfect life in Spain, she embodies hope for a brighter future.
But our reunion has taken an unexpected turn. And when a shock diagnosis shakes our family further, Victoria doesn’t know it yet, but she might just hold the key to saving our family.
But if I want her to help, a big secret has to come out. Revealing the truth risks everything – my marriage, our friendship, our families. Can we weather this storm, or will it shatter us beyond repair?
An emotional and powerful novel of motherhood, friendship and what family means to us all. Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult and Susan Lewis.

My Review – When You Were Mine
When You Were Mine by Emma-Claire Wilson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Though When You Were Mine was a bit slow to start I did find the story very interesting. It did get to a point where I did not want to stop reading because I wanted to see how the story unfolded.
This story explores deep themes including motherhood, family, marriage, infidelity, friendship, and childhood illness. This was not a light story but one which was deeply emotional and at times very moving.
The theme I enjoyed was the idea that family is not always blood. We can create family out of shared love and mutual respect and being in each other’s corners.
Overall, I greatly enjoyed “When You Were Mine” and plan to read more of Emma-Claire Wilson’s work.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
