In The Favourite Child by Emma Robinson, you meet Erika. She has had a good life. She married a good man, they both worked hard, and then they started a family. They were delighted when they discovered that they were having twins. A boy and a girl, making their family complete.
But then, as the twins grew, she noticed that Ben was having a lot of problems. He wasn’t developing as well as his sister Mollie. He was struggling with basic things that she picked up easily.
So, she had to put Ben’s needs in front of Mollie, especially when he was diagnosed with autism. She even moved closer to Ben’s new school to help him adjust, even though that meant leaving Mollie at home with her dad.
Now, Mollie is missing, and the couple have to work together to help her. For the first time in years, they have to find a way to communicate better to figure out what went wrong with their daughter. She had always been so good, a perfect daughter and student.
And they have to admit that Erika spends more time making sure that Ben is doing as well as he can. Her husband really struggles with Ben, so it has been easier to do things the way that they have been doing them. Erika with Ben. Her husband with Mollie.
Mollie may even feel like Ben is her favourite. Is that why she ran away? Can they find Mollie and get their family back on track? Is the marriage and family worth saving? Big choices have to be made, and they can change everything!
I couldn’t put this book down! I just had to see if they found Mollie, what made her run, and if the family was able to get back together. Another spectacular read by Emma Robinson that you won’t be able to put down!
