A totally gripping, BRAND NEW heartbreaking read about love and families from Lisa Timoney, that readers of Jodi Picoult, Jojo Moyes, and Emma Robinson will love. 💔🏡
'What happens if Daddy dies? Who would I live with?'
Katie loves her 6-year-old stepdaughter Maisie with all her heart. The time they spend together, the feel of the little girl's hand in her own, means everything to her, especially after she discovers she and her husband, Liam, can't have children together.
But since Maisie's mum died, she's mostly been living with her sister, Liam's adult daughter, Olivia – and the two have become inseparable. The problem is that Olivia hates her stepmother and refuses to accept her as part of their lives.
Katie wants nothing more than to step up in Maisie's life, even to formally adopt her, so they can become the proper family she's always longed for. But Olivia can't let that happen, and when she meets the man of her dreams, she begins to believe that she alone can offer her sister the security she needs.
When tragedy strikes, the two women both want what's best for the girl they love more than life itself, but when their lives take another unexpected turn, they each discover quite how much they have to lose.Readers love Lisa Timoney:
