From the moment Emily was born, reaching out with her tiny little star-shaped hand towards her mother, blinking with long eyelashes over soft blue eyes, she became Rachel's whole world. But Rachel's worst nightmare comes true when a rare auto-immune illness leaves five-year-old Emily in a coma the doctors say she may never come out of. And Rachel has to make a heartbreaking decision--one that her ex-husband, Emily's dad James, doesn't agree with. Terrified she's going to lose her daughter for good, Rachel knows she must find a way to keep the hope alive for Emily. But there is only one person she can turn to for help to convince James--his new wife, Eva. As an unlikely but powerful friendship develops between the two women, both Rachel and Eva will have to ask themselves--what is truly the right choice for the tiny, fragile little girl who lies between them?

Little things started happening, stumbling, speech and Rachel and James at first thought it was just a toddler thing. Later on, however, she slips into a coma and although every test had been done, there was no diagnosis, no treatment left to try. A degenerative brain disorder that had Emily slipping further away from her parents until she was in a state of unresponsive wakefulness.
Emily’s parents, Rachel and James could not see eye to eye, Rachel thinking James didn’t care enough, he had moved on with his life with a new wife. Rachel wanted to do everything in her power to have Emily get treatment.
There was a place that was offering treatment, Emily’s doctor advised against it, not only was it expensive but it was experimental and in Italy, which is a distance to travel to from America with a sick child. James is adamant this was not going to happen.
The relationship between the parents is very strained; James doesn’t even talk about Emily or Rachel to his new wife Eva, who has her own secrets.
Eva then offers to help Rachel, behind James’ back. What will happen to their relationship?
A well written and truly moving read that had me in tears. I don’t think this story will leave me for a long time.
