Praise for Anne Bennett:
‘A powerful, heart-wrenching saga from the much-loved author of “Daughter of Mine” and “Danny Boy”…This [“Mother’s Only Child”] is a page-turning saga of love, loss and family ties’ Woman’s Weekly
‘[Anne Bennett] is blessed with a vivid imagination and a natural aptitude for writing’ Daily Post
‘The beauty of Anne’s books is that they are about normal people and are sewn through with human emotions which affect us all’ Birmingham Post
‘Powerfully written’ Woman Book Club
‘A brilliant story and very gripping…Anne Bennett really brings the characters to life. It’s a great read. You won’t be able to put the book down’ Yours

A moving family drama of one young woman’s fight to survive, to find her long-lost relatives and to find a place to call home
Bridgette has been hurt many times in her life. Her early years were blighted by her spoilt brother; her marriage ruined by World War Two. Now her mother is dying. And then comes a deathbed revelation – somewhere Bridgette has another family and a father.
Bridgette joins the war effort and shows her courage by aiding a British Agent whose life is in danger. But, as the war draws to a close, Bridgette is still full of questions about her past and is determined to find the answers. So she sets off for Birmingham – not knowing what she will discover, but desperately hoping to find a place where she can finally belong…

Again, a good read - it seems to complete the stories of the Sullivan clan.
The references to the other members revives the other stories.

When I bought this book I had know idea it was about the Sullivan family and the last in the series of their family's stories. Was over the moon and couldn't wait to get into the story. If you read the first book 'A Daughter's Secret' you'll be hooked on the Sullivans from childhood to adults. Their mother was so evil towards them even when they were adults and it makes for real good reading. I've read all of their stories now and this last one didn't disappoint. Loved the ending. Just my cup of tea. The only sad thing is that it's the final one ... would be great if their stories could continue like those of Mary Jane Staple books about the Adams family. Anne Bennett is a brilliant writer bringing fact into fiction on the way families lived and were brought up especially during WW1 and WW2. Can't praise her highly enough.

A good book but a bit too long and drawn out.
