"My arms ache with the need to reach and hold my precious child, and then to never let go. But I can’t. I know I can’t."


Heather is devastated. There’s no way she can keep her baby. She can barely pay the bills as it is. But when she meets Grace, a wealthy, single career woman, who wants a baby more than anything, Heather believes she has found the perfect adoptive mother.

As Grace and Heather’s lives become entwined, they are tested to breaking point, though neither can deny the other’s love for the child. But just when they think they are learning how to live with each other, they receive devastating news that turns their fragile world upside down.

Will either mother know what is the right thing to do for the child they both love?


An absolutely gripping, emotional drama with a tear-jerking twist. If you love Jodi Picoult, Kelly Rimmer or Diane Chamberlain, this will warm your heart, make you cry, and stay with you forever.

(Goodreads)




Heather is a mother of three little girls when she gets pregnant with her fourth child. Right away she knows with her husband on disability and about to lose it, and her working so much, and barely being able to afford their rent, bills, and food, that she will have to get rid of her baby. She can't even imagine it, but she knows it's what is right for the child. 

Heather goes to an adoption agency and meets Tina who helps her find couples to adopt her unborn child. She looks through several loving couples that look perfect, but she doesn't want perfect. It makes her feel inadequate. Then she comes across Grace's profile. Grace is rich & sophisticated, but single. Grace doesn't believe anyone will pick her, because of her unconventional lifestyle. Then Heather does.

Heather thinks Grace would be perfect for her child, as she likes the idea that Grace has struggles in life. She doesn't have a spouse or any friends. She lives at her job for the moment and she just lost her father. Somehow this makes Heather feel like she is giving Grace something to hold on too. 

Then Heather gives birth and everything changes for her. She gives birth to a son, that her and her husband always wanted. She can't imagine giving her son away. She takes a few days and thinks..... She won't see Grace at all and Grace is a mess just waiting.....

This book was so well written and genuine. Told from both women's viewpoints, the reader gets a look inside how a perspective mother feels when adopting and how a birth mother feels giving her child away. Heart-wrenching, fast paced and a major tear jerker, this book is a must read.
