Publisher's Summary
Mersey Square, Stockport. With her daughter in danger, how far will she go to save her?
Every day for the last sixteen years, Olivia Grant has longed for her daughter. Forced to give her up at birth, Harley has been raised by her father Roy and his wife. When the day to meet her arrives at last, Olivia’s heart swells as she takes in Harley’s precious face, so like her own. But Olivia can tell: her little angel is very sick and needs urgent help. And when a doctor delivers the most devastating news any parent could hear, Olivia must grapple with the heartbreaking truth. Will she lose the daughter she’s waited so long to meet?
Praying that she will be able to save Harley, Olivia despairs when neither she nor Roy can give her the help she needs. Their best chance of saving their darling girl’s life is another baby, a full-blood sibling to save her life.
But Roy has been happily married for the past sixteen years and he and Olivia now face an impossible choice. Having another child with Olivia would destroy Roy’s marriage, the only parents Harley has ever known. Should she ask Roy to try for another baby… or will doing so tear them all apart forever?
If you love Nadine Dorries, Diney Costeloe and Nancy Revell, you’ll adore this utterly gripping saga novel which will rip your heart in two and remind you to never give up on those you love.
