There he is, my baby boy. His eyes are closed, his tiny rosebud mouth is pursed in sleep. My eyes well up as I catch a whiff of his newborn skin and I swallow back a wave of emotion. I should feel happy, I should feel grateful, but all I can think about is everything I just lost…
It’s a miracle when Katherine’s baby boy is born healthy. But his twin sister doesn’t survive, and when Katherine is told she can’t have any more children the loss is almost too much for her to bear.
Katherine always saw herself having a big family: she remembers how the loneliness of being an only child used to overwhelm her, and she is desperate to adopt a sibling for her son.
But her husband Davis won’t agree. He worries that Katherine will struggle when the new baby arrives. What if growing their family only adds to the grief she feels over losing her little girl? What if this breaks their marriage apart?
And Katherine is forced to make a choice. Give up the second child she has always dreamed of or risk losing the family she already has?
Firstly a big thank you to the publishers for my copy to review on netgalley. Ive recently read one of Sam’s books and it was my first. Having read this one its safe to say shes a great writer.
This is a story of family, and all the trials and tribulations that make up that family. Lies,secrets,loss and love.
With each chapter another layer is revealed meaning this really keeps you on your toes.
Emotive writing that is thought provoking and relatable.
Published 2nd November and i highly recommend.
