Louise Wilson's Reviews > This Child of Mine

When Stephanie is told that she is pregnant and that she is sick on the same day, she faces an impossible choice....

after trying for a baby for so long, finding out I was pregnant was supposed to be the happiest day of my life. But in the same breath as the news I had been waiting for years to hear, the doctor told me I was seriously ill. If I carry the baby to term, I will almost certainly die. If I proceed with treatment, my baby will not live. My husband - the father of this child - is telling me to save myself. But with all the secrets I know he is keeping from me; I can't trust him anymore. what would you do?

This is a beautifully written but heartbreaking read. Stephanie has an almost impossible choice to make - save her unborn baby or save her own life. She makes her decision, but not everyone agrees with her choice, especially her husband.

This is a story of love, hope and loss and it moved me to tears several times. I felt every emotion Stephanie and her husband James went through. I was fully invested in this story. Despite there being many difficult topics, this book has been written sympathetically. Just make sure you have the tissues handy before you start reading this book. This is the best book I've read this year do far, and I've read some really good ones.

I would like to thank #NetGalley #AvonBooksUK and the author #EmmaClaireWilson for my ARC of #ThisChildofMine in exchange for an honest review.
