I received a complimentary digital copy of this book from Red Adept Publishing and LibraryThing ER in exchange for an unbiased review.
Emma Blake is a successful neuro-oncologist engrossed with research to find a cure for the glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) which took the life of her best childhood friend. Kate was 11 years old when died but lived every day as if she weren’t ill. Emma finds herself becoming a doctor and investing her life along side Kate’s dad, Ned a doctor investigating a cure for GBM. She feels strongly about keeping her promise to Kate to find a cure.
Emma does marry Tim who is a writer and very patient and understanding with Kate’s investment in her research. It’s only when they realize they are going to have a baby does tension begin to grow. Tim has no idea the stress and guilt that Ned is placing on Emma. Ned is not happy about the pregnancy and even encourages Emma to abort it. Emma who was told she might never get pregnant after a car accident feels ambivalent. She wants to be happy about her miracle baby but feels guilty about living life with her friend dead.
This is a tumultuous story of life and death, family, love and grief. It’s an emotional rollercoaster with a bittersweet ending.
