Family dynamics are tested to the limit as personal and and ethical dilemmas create a roller coaster of raw emotions making it difficult to decide whose choice is morally or medically right. An emotive and confronting debut. * Woman’s Weekly *
This book is exquisite in its simplicity, its authenticity floats from every page and the love with which it was written sings to your soul... This book's honest integrity took hold of me in the most unexpected way. I fell utterly in love with Harper and her joy for life. A reminder that a life lived 'differently', in a world where we are judged by the most inane standards most often is a life that should be celebrated. An acceptance of what we have and the peace found in that affirmation. A reminder that we can all stand to learn from each other. * numberslady_reads *
