Publisher's summary

For 30 years, Nadine Kingsley has kept a heart-wrenching secret. When a letter arrives threatening to reveal the truth that could destroy her tight-knit family, Nadine embarks on a difficult journey to explain her painful decision, especially to her youngest daughter, Autumn.

Meanwhile, Autumn Anderson, speech pathologist and mother of two, is struggling in her marriage. The discovery of a troubling letter addressed to her mother disrupts her already complicated life, leading Autumn to question what she's always believed.

When the unthinkable happens, Autumn digs deeper into her family's past and unravels a tangled web of lies and deception surrounding her own birth. Meeting the one person her mother entrusted with her secret brings Autumn face-to-face with an unexpected and shocking revelation. A Mother's Choice is a fast-paced, uplifting, emotional book, full of family drama, love, hope, and forgiveness.

A Mother's Choice

"This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of Audiobook Blast."


This was a good novel. There was plenty of intrigue, guessing which way the plot would develope.

My only complaint was when the story switched prospective between Nadine and Autumn it could of been made a little clearer.


The narration was very well done.

Loved it!

What a pleasure it was to listen to this audio book! Together, Kristin Noel Fischer and Renata Friedman made this book unforgettable. The characters were well developed and the story line believable. There are small twists and turns that keep you wondering what would happen and it wasn't always what I expected. I can't wait to listen to more from both author and narrator.

Beautifully written and narrated

This is a beautifully written story of love and friendship. It's the type of book that would make a wonderful Hallmark movie and the narration was well done, as well.

Great story

This is a great story of love, (of course!), friendship, families, parents and adoption.

This is written from Nadine’s point of view and takes her from sophomore year of high school through age 70.

It’s language and storyline are clean. No foul language, sex scenes or talk, no drugs. It has a few references to faith (in God), prayer and their priests. I found this a joy and a blessing.

Masterfully written!

What did you love best about A Mother's Choice?

I loved A Mother’s Choice treasure trove of multigenerational family dynamics. One of the best things is this novel’s twists and turns. I don’t want to give anything away, but generally, the story seamlessly alternates between the sixties and present day. It involves family secrets, that are gripping but not too dark, unraveled layer by layer. It has a fun mystery feel to it.

What was one of the most memorable moments of A Mother's Choice?

One of the things I loved the most was the wonderful motherhood intimacies and comical tibits that made the story so personal. Fischer is genius at writing children and I fell in love with Autumn’s sons Zane and Logan.

What about Renata Friedman’s performance did you like?

I loved Renata's performance! Her voice is soothing and her dramatic moments draw you in. She sounds like she has acting experience - her characterizations are spot on!

Who was the most memorable character of A Mother's Choice and why?

Hard to pick one...there are two character that were most memorable for me. Nadine’s story, surrounding the romantic love of her life and her best girlfriend, pulls at all the right heart strings.
And Autumn's story, involving the relationships with her mom, big sister and various siblings, as well as her husband (who is torn between career pursuits and his personal life), gives wonderful insights and humor into family dynamics.

Any additional comments?

Overall, it’s an uplifting story of questioning faith and finding renewed hope.
