Two mothers. Both conceived their children via IVF at the same prestigious Manchester clinic. Two beautiful baby girls are born. So why does one of the mother's want both babies? And how far will she go to make that happen? Stand by your cots for a modern-day Sophie's Choice.
Tilda Asquith-Hyde has it all, or so it seems. An apartment overlooking the Thames, a flash car, designer clothes and money. Plenty of it. But Tilda's world is crumbling. The death of her mother and the breakup of her long-term relationship opens a void in her life that pushes alcohol from being reliable friend, to dangerous partner.
After a chance encounter with a friend and her baby, Tilda seizes upon the idea that motherhood will be the missing piece in her lonely life.
Lana Edwards and her partner Joel are barely scraping by. Lana is desperate for a child, but age and deteriorating health are against her. In one final effort, Lana and Joel agree to divert the only money they have into private IVF treatment - seemingly, their last realistic chance to have a child.
Unbeknown to each other, Tilda and Lana access IVF treatment at the same clinic, Tilda opting for a sperm donor and Lana and Joel using their own fertilised egg. Both women successfully deliver healthy their prayers surely answered.
Yet, within moments of birth Tilda emphatically rejects the child that is placed in her arms, stating it is not biologically hers. Lana too is going through her own rollercoaster of emotions. Her joy visible to all, her doubts hidden from even those closest to her.
Lana and Tilda's lives are about to intersect, setting off a devastating chain of events with far-reaching implications.
Will Lana and Tilda be able to 'do the right thing' for their children? And at what cost?
Please note sensitive material is covered in this book and as such trigger warnings exist around infertility, loss and mental health deterioration.
