A mother’s worst nightmare - a phone call in the middle of the night. In The Night Olivia Fell by Christina McDonald Abi Knight learns her daughter Olivia fell off a bridge and is brain dead. Worse yet she is pregnant.

As Abi rushes to the hospital she wonders what else she doesn't know about daughter. Although there are bruises on her wrist, the police believe Olivia fell accidentally and they don't appear to investigate too thoroughly. Also missing is a charm bracelet Olivia always wore. This causes Abi to believe someone pushes Olivia, but she cannot get the police to budge. Abi’s life turns upside as she tries to figure out what happened to her daughter and who the baby’s father is.

While Olivia was growing up, Abi had secrets of her own including who her daughter's father was. When Olivia asked, Abi told her he had died in a car accident. In reality he was someone who paid her to have an abortion and threatened her. She fled Seattle and never made contact with him again. 

Through a total coincidence while on a college visit to the University of Washington in Seattle, Olivia catches a glimpse of a young woman around her own age who looks almost exactly like her. Even her friends comment on the resemblance. When Olivia tracks her down on Facebook she makes plans to meet her and soon discovers Kendall's father is state senator Gavin Montgomery. Their uncanny resemblance leads Olivia in one direction - to her father. 

The story is told through flashbacks so we learn more about the devastating lies and hidden secrets that impacted their lives as Abi tries to unravel the truth surrounding her daughter's fall. 

 An emotionally heartbreaking story, but with some hope for the future.
