Kate has been through the fire with her three children. Having been left devastated and homeless after her husband's affair and the break-up of their family, somehow she has pulled through. Though times are still tough, she's beginning to see the start of anew life. But when twelve-year-old Jesssica is diagnosed with cancer, Kate's resilience is put to the ultimate test. She has an eighteen-year-old son consumed with hatred of his father, a seven-year-old who is bewildered and acting up and an ex-husband who won't face up to his responsibilities. And in the middle of it a beloved child who is trying to be brave, but is getting sicker by the day. Kate knows she must put to one side her own fear and heartbreak and do right by her children, particularly Jessica. But maybe doing the right thing means doing the unthinkable?… (més)

I have loved every book I have read from Sinéad Moriarty. I'm a big fan of her writing style and I always enjoys the story lines. I hate to say this wasn't one of my favorites. I didn't hate it, the book just wasn't one of my favorites. I didn't fall in love with the characters and Nick was simply horrible.

The book opens with Kate moving out of her dream home with her three children. She's moving back home to live with her father. Her husband Nick decided to have an affair with a much younger woman and now has a new baby. Now Nick doesn't seem to have time to spend with his older children and every time he manages to see them for a tiny amount of time, he needs to rush home to Jenny and his baby. Nick was the most unlikable character in the book.

Then Kate's daughter Jess is diagnosed with cancer and everything changes. Many times I started to tear up. How can you not when a twelve year old is dying of cancer? The book is definitely a tear jerker.

If you are a fan of Sinéad Moriarty give the book a try.

Thanks to NetGalley, Bookouture and the author, Sinéad Moriarty, for a free electronic ARC of this novel. (
