The Mistake

I liked this rather disturbing story The Mistake by Wendy James which has a fascinating premise.  A happily middle-aged married woman, Jodie, with two children is forced to confront her past when it's learned that she had an illegitimate baby girl, when aged 19.  The matron at the hospital arranged an illegal adoption, but there is no proof of any of this and Jodie and her family run the media, legal and social gauntlet as Jodie stands by her story.  Her life and that of her family is thrown in to chaos as the search goes on for the missing girl who would now be in her early 20s.  A good story. 4/5
