Publisher's summary

You know you can’t keep your baby. But can you trust someone else with their life?

When Heather finds herself unexpectedly pregnant, she knows there is no way she can keep her baby. She can barely manage to stay afloat as it is. But how can she stop herself from loving the child as it grows inside her?

She thinks she’s found the perfect adoptive mother in Grace. Confident and wealthy, Grace has everything that Heather doesn’t. But when the heartbreaking moment arrives, will Heather be able to give up her baby? And if she can’t, what will this mean for Grace?

Two women’s lives are forever entwined by the love for the same child and by the agonizing choices they will both have to make. A Mother’s Choice will make listeners ask themselves what it truly means to be a parent and whether they could make an ultimately selfless decision when it comes to their child’s future.

A Mother’s Choice is a heartbreaking and compelling emotional drama with a tear-jerking twist - perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Kelly Rimmer, and Diane Chamberlain.

To close to home

A story that touches many parts of my own life! Infants, mothers and death are extremely hard realities to endure!

This book!

This book kicked my a**.. I had to sit in the parking lot for awhile because I was crying to much to go into the store. I am NOT a cryer! I thought I knew how this book was was going and I didn’t think I was going to like it . I loved it but it drained me emotionally. That being said.. highly recommended

Not what I expected

what I thought would be a book about adoption and the challenges and pain of this decision turned out to be so much more. I enjoyed the two sided view and storytelling.

What choice would you make?

my heart felt for both parties of this story. Grace & Heather eventually end up on similar paths to which both gain understanding. a mother's love will always put the child first in the end.
