The Other Mother by Carol Goodman FIC Goo

This is certainly not a book where you read the first chapter and think you can figure it all out.  Because you can't!

Daphne Marist is going to a support meeting for new mothers. Her baby Chloe is the most important thing in her world.  Yet she has intrusive thoughts about what she might do to her.  Thus the support group.  There she meets Laurel, another new mother with a daughter named Chloe who is the same age as her Chloe. Daphne is full of fears and has no self confidence and Laurel is the total opposite.  They quickly bond and even begin getting together as couples.  That turns out to be a bad decision!  When Daphne becomes fearful that her husband may commit her, she takes her daughter and runs!

You have to keep alert as you read and pay attention to what you are reading because throughout the book are excerpts from the journals of Laurel and Daphne.
