About this listen

Her love for her daughter is everything

Her love for him is deadly

Cath had twenty-five perfect days with her newborn daughter before Mia's deadly illness was diagnosed.

As her life implodes, Cath’s despair drives her to a parental support group where she meets a father in a similar situation, the dangerously attractive Richard – charming, handsome and adamant that a cure for their children lies just over the horizon: everything Cath wants to believe.

Their affair – and the chance to escape reality – is unavoidable, but carries catastrophic consequences: the nature of Mia’s illness means that Cath’s betrayal endangers not just her marriage but the life of her baby.

Can she stop herself before it’s too late?

I really didn't think I would stick with this book as I didn't feel immediately drawn into it at the beginning. But, I'm so glad I persevered because it got better and better. I really got to understand the characters and why they acted as they did. An excellent storyline and I highly recommend it!

Stick with it!

I absolutely loved this book! very well written on such a fraught subject. Deliciously dark in places where choosing the right path becomes so imperative it has a nail biting quality.
