The story revolves around two women, Katherine and Tess, who are both struggling with infertility and undergo IVF treatment. Katherine finally gives birth to a baby girl, Rose, after years of trying. However, she begins to suspect that Rose may not be her biological daughter, as her skin tone does not match Katherine's.

Tess, on the other hand, never got to experience motherhood, as her daughter, Hanna, was stillborn. She is now divorced, broke, and stuck in a dead-end job, feeling lost and hopeless. When Rose is ten months old, both women receive a call from the fertility clinic, informing them that their eggs were switched during IVF.

This revelation sets off a custody battle like no other, as both women claim to be the rightful mother of Rose. The story is filled with intense emotions, as Katherine and Tess fight for their rights and the love of their daughter. The battle takes a toll on their physical and mental well-being, pushing them to the brink of exhaustion.

Through the course of the novel, Audrain explores the complexities of motherhood, the importance of family, and the lengths we will go to for the people we love. The characters are well-developed, and the reader can empathize with their struggles and emotions.

Hold My Girl is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that will leave readers reflecting on the nature of motherhood and the sacrifices we make for the ones we love. It is a must-read for anyone who enjoys fiction that explores deep emotional themes.
