About this listen

Your husband took his own life. Tell the truth and destroy what is left of your family. Or keep a secret that will tear you apart. What would you do?

Olivia and David were the perfect couple with their whole lives in front of them. When beautiful baby daughter Zoe came along, their world seemed complete.

But now David is dead and Olivia's world is in pieces. While she is consumed with grief, her mother-in-law Ivy is also mourning the loss of her son. Both women are hiding secrets about the man they loved. Secrets that have put the family in danger.

Something was very wrong in Olivia and David's marriage. Can Olivia and Ivy break their silence and speak the truth? A mother should protect her child, whatever the cost, shouldn't she?

Twists and Turns

I could not stop listening to this book. I loved how the story was told from each characters point of view. A friends daughter went through an abusive marriage and by the grace of god she was able to get out with her daughter after a horrifying night. I could not stop thinking about her as I listened to this story. It just makes you wonder how many women are in similar situations. Please read or listen to this book

Heartbreaking and beautifully written

Heartbreaking story, but beautiful. I enjoyed it. It made me angry at times, but all domestic abuse cases do. I wanted to slap Ivy so badly!

Great story

This book took me through a whole range of emotions -- it gave me chills; it exasperated me as I listened, cursing Olivia to the heavens; it made me want to laugh and cry. I couldn't stop listening. And when I got to the absolute "O M G!!! NOOOOOO!!!" portion (which I won't let on because it's the crux of the book), I had to go back and re-listen to some parts to make it all fit in. This woman's confession made me hate and love Olivia; however, I hated her mother (and father)-in-law with a passion ... this could be anyone's true story! I discussed this book with my co-workers, trying to gauge why people do the things they do to each other in the name of "love"

OMG!! What a heartbreaking, yet excellent book!

Would you listen to A Mother's Confession again? Why?
No, but I don't listen to books more than one time, so no direct reflection of this book.

Any additional comments?
This book touched my heart in a very personal way as when I was in high school I was in an abusive relationship that reminded me very much of what olivia went through, but I am very thankful I was able to get out before it was too late. Unfortunately for Olivia, she paid a price much too high. Her husband killed himself along with her daughter.

Olivia is not able to cope and for a large portion of the book she is in denial that her child has passed away, so she is carrying a bear around thinking it is her child even going as far as searching out daycares for her baby so she is able to return to work.

There is one twist that I won't tell you about, but it's a good one!

This book was fantastic. Such a good story and the ending was quite a surprise. I listen as I drive to work and needless to say I had some puffy read eyes when I arrived today.

Wonderful story

Four stars for a book of surprises. And the biggest surprise is saved for the end of the book. My heart and soul ached while reading A Mother's Confession, realizing I know people who are so similar to each of the characters. I found that scary while fearing there were times I should have spoken up. Seems each main character had good and bad traits, and I found myself understanding why. I recommend this book for almost everyone.

In the beginning, I wondered where the book could go since we already knew so much. Yet, there was so much we didn’t without even realizing it. Isn’t that the way life is? You think you have it figured out and then wake up one day to realize you only thought you did? Wonderful book at a horrible subject. Definitely worth your time to read. I’m glad I did.
