No Child of Mine: A Novel (Random House Reader's Circle)

From internationally bestselling British author Susan Lewis comes an unflinching, thoroughly suspenseful novelâ€”perfect for readers of Jodi Picoultâ€”about the darkest secrets a family can hide.
Â
Alex Lakeâ€™s life is centered on helping people. Her job as a social worker in a British seaside town is more than a career: Itâ€™s the very essence of who she is. And though there are frustrations, Alex takes to heart the rewards of placing a child in a safe and loving home. But when she encounters three-year-old Ottilie Wade, Alex is completely unprepared for the effect the sweet, shy little girl has on her. Though on the surface Ottilie seems to want for nothingâ€”sheâ€™s perfectly healthy and lives in a very nice homeâ€”sheâ€™s mysteriously silent and asocial. Alex knows that something is not right in the Wade house. And the deeper she looks into the case, the more Alex comes to feel that she and Ottilie are being drawn together by fate.
Â
As disturbing evidence mounts and Alexâ€™s superiors seem unwilling to help, Alex knows she will have to risk everythingâ€”her job and the life she lovesâ€”to save Ottilie. But Alex will also have to wrestle the demons of her own past before she can secure a future for this child in need.
