Amanda Prowse has managed to sensitively write this book so well. To make others aware of sepsis and send out such a powerful message is to be commended.
As a mother myself who has lost a child, I felt the rollercoaster of emotions was captured perfectly, from being completely broken to finding a coping 'new normal'.
I will not lie, I cried constantly throughout my listening journey, but could relate to all the characters. For me I found the epilogue to be Just perfect, bringing a strength to the books ending. Highly recommend to all.

A must read with a very important message.

This book is incredibly gentle, raw, and touching, yet beautifully written. Be prepared for tissues.

Amanda Prowse has a remarkable talent for conveying emotions, whether they’re good, bad, or indifferent.

This is book six of six in the ‘No Greater Strength’ series. The series explores how people are challenged in their worst circumstances and how they cope with them.

In this particular story, we follow Grace and Tom Penderford and their lovely young daughter, Chloe. Grace is career-driven and hardly ever switches off, while Tom is the stay-at-home dad.

Chloe undergoes a routine procedure in hospital, but Tom is more apprehensive because he worries where everyone else are more relaxed choosing to see the positives. However, everyone breathes a sigh of relief when they take her home.

As Tom and Grace take turns watching over Chloe during the night, their world is suddenly torn apart when their family of three is reduced to two.

We witness how this tragedy affects them and how they try to navigate this devastating trauma. Each of them wants to blame the other, but the important thing is what they learn and understand about the condition that robbed their family. Will they ever be able to reach each other again? Can their marriage survive this? As the rift between them widens, can they find a way back to each other?

This book was incredibly emotional, and I couldn’t put it down. All the way through Amanda gives us facts and statistics about this condition and the signs to look out for.

*Bittersweet*
