Dani Atkins

Before Beth's husband died, they made the decision to freeze an embryo so that she could still have his child. But Beth has just been told that the embryo was implanted in the wrong woman seven years ago. What should she do?

The lump in my throat dissolves into tears. "They're going to take Noah away, Pete." "No judge will ever rule that a child should be taken away from his parents." My husband's voice is defiant. "Even if it turns out we're not his parents?" Izzy's eight-year-old son Noah is her whole life. With his long eyelashes, mischievous grin and boundless energy, he's got her husband Pete's sunny outlook and Izzy's curious mind. When they receive a surprise phone call from the fertility center that helped them have Noah, it's surely nothing to worry about. But what they learn from that call sends their dreams for their son crashing down around them. Eight years ago, someone made a terrible mistake at the center, and there's a possibility that precious Noah isn't actually their child. Izzy and Pete know that they will fight to keep their beautiful boy at any cost... but if Noah's parents are out there somewhere, is it right to keep them from their son? When a shocking diagnosis brings things to a head, Izzy must decide what's right for Noah, even if it means sacrificing the person she loves most in the world... From a million-copy bestselling author comes a heart-wrenching family dilemma inspired by a true story. If you love Jodi Picoult, Diane Chamberlain and Kerry Fisher, you won't be able to put this book down.
