En savoir plus sur le livre

<i>Things break all the time. Day breaks, waves break, voices break. Promises break. Hearts break.</i> Charlotte and Sean O'Keefe would have asked for a healthy baby, if they'd given the choice. Instead they are consumed by sleepless nights, mounting bills, the pitying stares of "luckier" parents, and worst of all, the what-ifs. What if five-year-old Willow had been born healthy? But it's all worth it because she is smart as a whip, pretty as her mother, kind, brave and an unexpectedly deep source of wisdom. Everything changes, though, after a series of events forces Charlotte and Sean to confront the most serious what-ids of all. What if Charlotte should have known earlier of Willow's illness? What if things could have been different? What if their beloved Willow had never been born? To do Willow justice, Charlotte must ask herself these questions and one more. What constitutes a valuable life?
