About this listen

"Looking back, I wish I could find my way back to that moment. I’d snatch it and hold onto it and live in it for the rest of my life, if I could. When Emily could still throw her arms around me. Oh God, just give me that moment, or one like it again. That’s all I want."

From the moment Emily was born, reaching out with her tiny little star-shaped hand towards her mother, blinking with long eyelashes over soft blue eyes, she became Rachel’s whole world.

But Rachel’s worst nightmare comes true when a rare auto-immune illness leaves 4-year-old Emily in a coma the doctors say she may never come out of. And Rachel has to make a heartbreaking decision - one that her ex-husband, Emily’s dad James, doesn’t agree with.

Terrified she’s going to lose her daughter for good, Rachel knows she must find a way to keep the hope alive for Emily. But there is only one person she can turn to for help to convince James - and it’s his new wife, Eva.

As an unlikely but powerful friendship develops between the two women, both Rachel and Eva will have to ask themselves - what is truly the right choice for the tiny, fragile little girl who lies between them?

A beautiful story that will break your heart into a million pieces, perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Diane Chamberlain and Susan Lewis.

Heart touching

Loved this book and would recommend it. While sad, it was also nice to see how a family interacts with other members. Loved these characters, and the narrator did an excellent job!

Voices

Cannot tell any difference in voices of the women…two of the main characters. It did get confusing. Otherwise. A good story.

MOST DEPRESSING BOOK I’VE EVER READ!!!

This book was depressing from beginning to end! In a world of such troubled times I’m not sure why anyone would want to read this depressing story! I wish I had never read it! Was hoping maybe it would have a prologue that would make it a little better. Not! Do not advise reading this book!
