What to expect

An unforgettable, heartbreaking story of strength and forgiveness by TOP 100 BESTSELLER Caroline Finnerty

They say if you love someone, you have to let them go. But what if they are your child?

All Sarah McIntyre has ever wanted was a loving, happy family. So when her husband JP announces on Christmas Day that he is leaving her and their two children, nine-year-old Harry and four-year-old Robyn, Sarah is left reeling.

But things are set to get worse when Robyn is diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumour.

Can JP and Sarah unite to fight their biggest battle yet? Or will they be on opposing sides once again?

With the couple at loggerheads and with Robyn's condition deteriorating day by day, precious time is running out and JP is getting desperate…

The Last Days of Us is a heart-rending story of hope and forgiveness that asks the question: how far would you go to save your child? Perfect for fans of Clare Mackintosh's After the End and Sinead Moriarty's The Good Mother.
