'I promise.’ Meg kissed the top of her daughter’s head, tears welling in her eyes. ‘I’ll never leave you, my beautiful girl. Never.’ At the time, she’d meant every word. But now she had to break that promise…
When Meg gets a terrible diagnosis, her only thought is for her family. How will her husband Simon and their beautiful, sweet-hearted, 14-year-old daughter Grace cope when she’s gone?
She also knows that she has to finally tell Grace the secret they’ve kept from Grace her whole life. That, though Simon is Grace’s father, she isn’t Grace’s birth mother. Because Simon was married before, and his first wife, Cassie, hadn’t wanted to keep their baby.
So Simon and she had stepped up. They’d given Grace the life she deserved, full of light and happiness. But in the family’s darkest hour, Meg thinks Grace deserves the choice to meet the mother who gave her up… because she’s the only mother she will have left.
Could you risk destroying the family you’ve worked so hard to create, if it meant your child might get the chance to have a mother again? Even though you can’t know whether her birth mother will ever be able to offer her the love your beloved daughter deserves?Praise for The Daughter She Gave Away:
