The Heart of a Mother

Obsession Collection

By: Julie Clark

Narrated by: Susan Dalian

A fateful decision from the past haunts a wealthy Californian. Desperate to make things right, she risks everything in this tense short story from New York Times bestselling author Julie Clark.

Hillary Jean leads an enviable life. She has a loving husband, a beautiful home, caring friends, and meaningful work planning fundraisers. Yet she’s always felt incomplete. After a DNA website emails her a match, Hillary sets out to find the daughter she gave up twenty-five years ago. But her hunger to reconnect threatens to destroy the very thing she hopes to gain.

The Heart of a Mother is part of Obsession, a collection of compulsively readable short stories about people pushed to their extremes. So addictive you won’t be able to put them down—read or listen to each story in a single sitting.

Missable

This was a perfectly fine story, which is why I gave it free stars, but it was certainly nothing memorable or important or eye-opening.
Do we really need to know how people can betray each other? Most adult adults are well aware.

performance was phenomenal

a predictable and easy story to digest but the acting was really really good. love the actess voice

Surprising!

Wow! Now that took me by surprise! Good short story! The narrator was fine. Worth the listen.

Sad

This was an interesting but sad story. I did enjoy listening to the narrator’s voice.
