What to expect
An utterly heart-wrenching and completely unputdownable story of a mother’s love, family secrets, and the fight to save a child — perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Diane Chamberlain, and Liane Moriarty. 💔
My son George is everything to me, but he’s slipping away, and no one can tell me why.
Every test comes back inconclusive, every doctor leaves me with more questions than answers. I’m terrified – each day brings new fears, and my heart aches knowing how much he’s suffering.
Then Barbara appears – my biological mother, a stranger for most of my life. She’s in poor health, struggling with the weight of her past, and her sudden arrival stirs a mix of emotions in me. Part of me wants to believe she’s here to help, but there’s a wall between us, and I can’t shake the feeling there’s something very wrong.
As George’s condition worsens, I find myself wrestling with doubt. Can I truly rely on Barbara? Will she bring comfort or complicate an already fragile situation? All I want is to protect my son and give him the love and support he deserves. I only hope that I can be the mother he needs before it’s too late. Will I find a way to save him?
A heartbreaking and emotional novel about a mother’s love that you won't be able to put down!
