A completely heartbreaking story about the impossible dilemmas two mothers find themselves facing. Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Amanda Prowse, and Emma Robinson.I promise. Meg kissed the top of her daughters head, tears welling in her eyes. Ill never leave you, my beautiful girl. Never. At the time, shed meant every word. But now she had to break that promise
When Meg gets a terrible diagnosis, her only thought is for her family. How will her husband Simon and their beautiful, sweet-hearted, 14-year-old daughter Grace cope when shes gone?
She also knows that she has to finally tell Grace the secret theyve kept from Grace her whole life. That, though Simon is Graces father, she isnt Graces birth mother. Because Simon was married before, and his first wife, Cassie, hadnt wanted to keep their baby.
So Simon and she had stepped up. Theyd given Grace the life she deserved, full of light and happiness. But in the familys darkest hour, Meg thinks Grace deserves the choice to meet the mother who gave her up because shes the only mother she will have left.
Could you risk destroying the family youve worked so hard to create, if it meant your child might get the chance to have a mother again? Even though you cant know whether her birth mother will ever be able to offer her the love your beloved daughter deserves?
