I haven’t felt this emotional about a book in a long time, it really affected me strongly and to a point that I want to do something. I want to stop things like this from happening, I want to help victims, I want to help spread the word about what can happen when you have money, I want to help make a difference.

I have always wanted to be a mother since I was a little girl, and though I had to endure so much before it happened, I eventually became a mommy to my two beautiful miracle children. I know the sometimes overwhelming and powerful feeling it is to be a mother and to want to do whatever you can to ensure your children are safe and loved. I can’t even fathom what it must feel like as a mother to experience what Kate did in “Where Have All Our Daughters Gone”. She is such an amazing and strong woman and I am so proud of her for standing up for herself and doing everything she could for her daughters. It absolutely infuriates me that people can get away with what they do with money and power. It makes me sick.

I clearly have experienced so many strong emotions while reading this book. I felt such anger and anxiety that I had trouble sleeping. I couldn’t stop thinking about what I had been reading every day and I have wanted to do nothing but read. I have finished reading the book but I do not want to simply move onto the next one and forget about this one. Though I received an ARC of this book, I am going to purchase it so that I can make my first contribution towards the Protective Mothers Revolution.

This book was so emotionally powerful and will be one that will certainly stay in my thoughts for a long time. I want to talk about it with others, I want to spread the word. Please read this book and then send out your own reviews and recommendations.

This book will send your emotions on a rollercoaster! You will feel everything with a realism that is hard to find in a lot of fiction. This book is so hard to put down. Thank you netgalley for the arc. The review is my opinion

A really good read about domestic abuse and control. This is a compelling read which although fictional felt real in places.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy.

This book. This book. This book. Messed me up for a bit. I finished it in a few hours because I could NOT put it down. And when I did, I looked at my husband and wanted to slap him, just to make myself feel better about what the main character, Kate, and her three children went through. It was a tough read for me, having been through a bad marriage myself, and now having a daughter. I cannot imagine what I would do if I knew someone was abusing her and still had to let it go and deliver her to him. Well, I can, but it's probably best to not write about it (premeditation and all that). Reading it at midnight, I was falling asleep and still couldn't pull myself away from it without reaching the ending.

While this was a fast read, a lot of it seemed too incredible to be believed, but sadly enough I know that Kate's situation while fictional, is all too real for some women. Where Have All Our Daughters Gone does a good job at portraying what life is like when you marry someone that you don't really know, and how even once you're separated from them, there are still times where they control everything in your life. I feel like it could use a little tightening up, I would have liked to know where the kids ended up (maybe a epilogue of sorts) and I would have liked to see a bit more personality from Clay. I liked him, and after being married to someone like Mitchell, I was glad that Kate found someone to treat her right, but there is not a man on this Earth who is that patient and forgiving and never loses his temper. He was almost too perfect, which didn't come off as real.

All in all, I could definitely see this in our library, and possibly even as a women's book club read. It would certainly lead to some very open and honest discussions.

A good book, delving into abuse and control but with a good storyline. Twists and turns which will keep you emotionally on your seat or corner of the pillow. Look forward to reading more from this author. Thank you.

This story was a nightmare about a narcissistic lawyer husband and the woman who had three girls with him. When she decided to divorce, he made her life a living hell. This was an extremely long read for what it was and was really descriptive in ways I felt were overboard. I had to take breaks and read other things, but did finish it. I think this book needs edited and shortened to make it more readable.

This book was about marriage and how you can marry someone thinking you know them, when you surely do not. A good woman married a bad and terribly narcissistic man who lived to make her miserable. Even when she was divorced from him, he haunted her daily by taking her children through unscrupulous means. She had to move on or go crazy. But in doing so, she had to leave three daughters behind. A great book. I have lived with a narcissistic husband and they will go to any lengths to benefit themselves.

Had never heard of this author before but thought I would try it and glad I did.
Kate falls in love with the charismatic Mitchell. It is only following their marriage that the facade begins to drop and Kate sees the real abusive Mitchell
Kate tries to ‘fix’ problems not of her making to sustain the marriage. Mitchell and Kate share three daughters.
The characters and their lives felt very real and it was so difficult to think that some people go through these awful things. Kate takes on what life throws her way and deals with it. She has strength and resilience seeking to protect her daughters I felt the story could be inspiring for those in difficult times and would recommend it.

A remarkable book, when you read it you believe it could be a true story. It keeps you interested from start to finish. Some of the things that the courts did were strange. I wonder if they would be allowed in our country, but l did enjoy reading it and happy with the ending.

Received a vopy of this book through netgalley.
Interesting story but I thought that it was a bit too long with all the court cases the same could have been achieved with less.
Characters seemed not to be real and it was difficult to associate with them,Clay seemed too good to be true in real life would someone really be so patient do not thing so.
Enjoyable plot but too long winded,same could have been achieved in less,characters needed to be built up more,its a rough diamond polished up would be a best seller.
