When my sister tells me time is running out
for her life-saving transplant, tears roll down my cheeks. But she isn’t
crying, she’s staring at our mother, who says words that will change my
life forever. ‘It’s time for me to tell you the truth…’
I
can barely breathe as my mother tells us there is a possibility that
the father we adored might not be our birth father. Before I can process
the secret she has kept from us, she takes my hand firmly in hers. ‘You
have to find him Mairi, the other man. He is our last chance to save your sister.’
When I tell my husband Tom what
my mother has asked me to do, I can see the pain on his face. All he
wants is for me to rest and protect the precious life inside of me, the
baby we hoped for all these years. How can I put my own happiness ahead
of saving my sister’s life?
But finding the man my mother loved
all those years ago is only the beginning. Because my sister is also
hiding something, and it will change everything I thought I knew about
our family. Am I truly prepared for
what I will discover when I unravel the secrets of those I love the
most? And will I be ready to make the most impossible choice of all?

My Review
A read that kept me page turning, and wondering what was going to happen next.
A set of twins with one having health issues. Can one of the sister's help the other?
One sister is finally pregnant, will she be able to help? Can she donate?
Questions, and a times very hard on relationships, there are some very long held secrets.
Was I surprised when some of these secrets get answered? Oh yes, never expected half of what happens here.
There are some happy moments here, and some very sad ones.
I loved the epilogue!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Bookouture, and was not required to give a positive review.
