Description

Brilliant! Cuts to the heart yet powerfully uplifting Jane Corry

Her love for her daughter is everything

Her love for him is deadly
Cath had twenty-five perfect days with her newborn daughter before Mia's deadly illness was diagnosed.

As her life implodes, Caths despair drives her to a parental support group where she meets a father in a similar situation, the dangerously attractive Richard charming, handsome and adamant that a cure for their children lies just over the horizon: everything Cath wants to believe.

Their affair and the chance to escape reality is unavoidable, but carries catastrophic consequences: the nature of Mias illness means that Caths betrayal endangers not just her marriage but the life of her baby.

Can she stop herself before its too late
