A brilliant powerful story not to be missed

After three years of waiting, Noah finally moves his children to a new town hoping it will help them heal and move forward with their lives while they continue their wait. The family's new neighbour - a woman, a mother, whose precious child died from a disease for which she was an unknown carrier.

Her grief for her sweet child never ending as she tries to carry on with her life, putting one foot in front of the other, while taking care of other people's children, knowing she can never have another child. This is a brilliant powerful story of healing. Melissa James writes characters that are so real that you feel you've met them and been a part of their lives.
