My darling girl, I watch you playing outside in the grass. Your long blonde hair sweeps back and your blue eyes are bright with joy. You are utterly perfect, I never imagined something could be so wrong and I'd be powerless to protect you...
Ava's daughter Carly is everything a ten-year-old should be: energetic, creative and the light of her parents' lives. But when she starts stumbling down stairs and walking into doors, Ava wants to rush to the doctor. Her husband Rick is sure she's fretting over nothing - kids can be a little clumsy sometimes. But Ava's instinct is telling her something is seriously wrong.
Ava takes Carly to see a specialist and is given a devastating diagnosis: a rare genetic condition that will change her future forever. When Rick realises the truth, he is determined to do all he can to help Carly enjoy what light she has left. The close-knit family take it one day at a time, walking to the beach and watching the sunrise.
Just as Ava begins to imagine a new future for them all, a tragic accident throws their lives into chaos once more. To give her daughter a chance at a full life, Ava faces a devastating choice. How can she possibly choose between the two people she loves most?
An emotional, heartbreaking page-turner about a mother's love and an utterly devastating decision. Readers of Kate Hewitt, My Sister's Keeper and Diane Chamberlain will keep this story in their hearts forever.
