About this listen

A parents worst nightmare.
A small child with an incurable disease and a father who served in Vietnam and blames himself for her illness. The family is torn apart. Finally only one choice remains to save the daughter's life, a devil's choice. The time is in the 1980s. Catherine, Lizzie's daughter has returned to Sydney to study. She now lives in Balmain, near where her mother grew up. She settles into life there, establishes a successful career and marries. Then she has a daughter, Amelie, who is the joy of both her and her husband's lives.

But when her daughter is two years old the unimaginable happens. Her daughter develops an incurable disease, advanced leukaemia. Other treatments fail. Now the only option to save her daughters life is a bone marrow transplant.
They search desperately for a donor to match. But no one is found.

Her daughter has an unusual tissue profile that seems to come from her Catherine's own father. But who is her father? Catherine was conceived when her mother was raped by three men. Two of the three men who raped her mother are now in jail, destined to spend the most of their life there. The third is dead.

Can Catherine bear to make the choice and bring herself to appeal to one of these men in an attempt to save her daughter's life when she knows that even this may be futile.

This is the third novel in "Old Balmain House" Series. Novel two, "Lizzie", tells the story of a girl from Balmain and her struggle to keep her own daughter when pregnant at only 15 and the terrible choices she must make.

This book continues the family's story into a third generation.
