But if it's to rescue a little girl from her damaging mother, is kidnapping wrong? Amy Townsend. Unhappy wife. Unfit mother. Unsure she wants her daughter back. Amy's life is a string of disappointments, but her biggest issue is her inability to connect with her daughter. And now she's gone without a trace.

But her real mother is at home, waiting for her to return--and the longer the search for Emma continues, Amy is forced to question if she really wants her back. Emotionally powerful and wire-taut , Not Her Daughter raises the question of what it means to be a mother--and how far someone will go to keep a child safe.
