As I hold my daughter's newborn baby to my chest, my heart breaks knowing she didn't live to meet her son. Someone will need to raise this child, but who will fight the hardest?
When I get the call my estranged daughter Sophie is in labor and that there are complications, I can barely breathe. It's been months since I spoke to her-I had no idea she was even pregnant. I rush to the hospital, tears streaming down my face. But as I run through the hospital doors and see the nurses' faces, I realize I am already too late.
I look down at the precious baby she left behind, swaddled in a blanket with perfect rosy cheeks. My husband and I could give him a stable, loving home. It would be a second chance for us. Because we didn't get it right with Sophie-no matter how hard we tried, I know we failed her. This is our chance to finally make things right.
But then I meet the tear-filled gaze of my son-in-law, Tom, and realize it isn't going to be that simple. He is the reason we didn't have a relationship with our daughter. My husband is sure his troubled past will mean we get custody. But now Sophie is gone, is it time to give Tom a second chance? Or is it foolish to trust someone we don't even know?
My chest aches as I realize I have no idea what Sophie would have wanted, or even what I truly want. Because I have secrets of my own... secrets that Tom doesn't know and never should. Should I fight to raise my daughter's baby myself, even if it costs me everything?
An unforgettable, gripping and suspenseful novel that shines a light on what it truly means to be a family. Perfect for readers who enjoy emotional fiction, and for fans of Jodi Picoult, Liane Moriarty and Diane Chamberlain.
