Publisher's summary

Caroline used to have it all: she was madly in love with her husband, Peter, and they worshiped their beautiful baby girl. But as Lily grows into a toddler, Caroline notices that her daughter seems to live and act with a disconnect, and soon the perfect future Caroline had envisioned, along with her marriage, begin to crumble. Now she and Peter are no longer lovers, they're plaintiffs in the throes of divorce while still struggling to care for Lily. After years of blame and overwhelming despair, Caroline's chance encounter with a stranger at University Hospital opens her eyes to the prospect of accepting new support, new loves, and new dreams.

From the acclaimed author of The Final Piece comes a story of a family broken and unable to cope with a daughter's disability. And a mother who finds that letting go of the life she imagined may be the only way to get to the life she was meant for.

love this book

This book shows that just because you have bumps in the road you can over come them with good people in your life and accepting the things you cannot change. Also a mother's love is like no others.

Lily Love

I was just a little disappointed. It's a story that starts out about a mother and her handicapped child who doesn't have a diagnosis. All this is soon set aside when Caroline, Lilys mom falls in love. I thought the parts about Lily could be developed more.

Lily was only a prop

A woman who has given birth to a child with cognitive developmental delays and her husband divorce because of the strain of the child on their marriage.The young woman only sees herself as the mother of handicapped child and my impression is that she resents the child. The interaction between the mother and Lily the child is always shown to be very sweet and caring but the relationship is never carried any further. When the mother strikes up the acquaintance of a man at the hospital where Lily is having physical therapy, the rest of the book goes into romance mode and is fairly predictable . it was enjoyable to read but Lily gets nothing out of the story except a happier mother.
