Publisher's summary

From million-copy bestselling author Imogen Clark comes a story of two families, two babies and one maddeningly hot day that will change their lives forever.

It’s the hottest day of the 1976 heatwave and there’s not a breath of fresh air in the labour ward at Lincoln County Hospital. Michelle is having her fourth child, a girl, while beloved husband Dean is sipping a cold pint in the pub. Their little house is already bursting at the seams, but Michelle is sure they’ll find a way to stretch their budget and continue life as a blissfully chaotic happy family. They name their new baby Donna.

In the next bed, exhausted and wearing a perfectly impractical lace-trimmed white nightgown, Sylvie has just given birth to her first child at forty and wants to sleep, while her oblivious husband Jeremy hovers and suggests he sketch this ‘perfect moment’. The midwife thinks she’ll feel more like bonding with her baby when she’s had some rest, but Sylvie isn’t so sure. She and Jeremy call their daughter Leonora.

When the two little girls are taken to their respective homes, the date of their birth seems to be the only thing to connect them. But one day, years in the future, their paths will cross again when Michelle comes looking for Sylvie—because something happened that blistering hot day, something they both deserve answers to…

Excellent Book

I liked the fascinating story of babies who may have been sent home to the wrong parents. I really enjoyed the characters. The narrator was excellent. I am a fan of this author’s books and this was worth my 5 stars

It could have happened

Two moms, very different. One realizing there was something off when she brought her baby daughter home. A really good read!

Engaging but Implausible.


This compelling "Was My Baby Swapped at the Hospital Nursery?" domestic drama profiles two mothers with daughters born on the same day in the same hospital.

Although one mother continually questions whether the baby she brought home from the hospital was her biological child, a DNA test is never performed. (Huh?)

The book was well-paced and character-driven.

Unlike "Playing Nice" by JP Delaney, this "Was My Baby Swapped at the Nursery?" book was void of sinister tones.

Although Brownwen Price did a superb job with the narration, the book would have benefited from two narrators since it was told from two POVs.

This is my first Imogen Clark book and I will definitely be reading more books by this talented author.

Very real sounding. I bet there are so many more….

I like the truth and truth & true stories even if they’re based on someone else’s story….. and don’t think, that’s all I’m interested in it’s just one facet

Lots of opinions. I couldn't imagine how it would end. Very well written

That's really happened I'm sure a lot more than publicized. Hopefully, never again. It was very thoughtfully written

Great story about family bonds.

This story reminds that blood is not the only thing tying a family together.
The people who there for you in good or bad times and vise versa is what a family makes.
Loving a person because of who they are not because they were born into your family ties you together.
This story reflects that.

I felt like part of the families!

Engrossing, entertaining, and extremely well-written. I felt like part of the families as I couldn’t stop listening to find out how it was all going to turn out! Read/listen to this one- you will fall in love with all the characters as I did!
