The gripping and emotional debut inspired by the life of bestselling author Victoria Scott. Perfect for readers of Jodi Picoult and Kate Hewitt. 🦋
If your sister's future was in your hands, could you live with the consequences of your choice?
For thirty years, Patience Willow has been trapped inside a body that cannot walk, talk or obey her commands. Her devoted mother Louise has spent her life caring for her. Her father Pete works thousands of miles away to keep the family afloat. And her sister Eliza has spent years trying to escape the guilt, heartbreak and responsibility that come with loving Patience.
But when an experimental gene therapy offers the chance to change Patience’s life forever, the family is torn apart by one impossible question: how far would you go for the person you love most?
As secrets surface and loyalties fracture, each of them must decide what they are willing to risk – and whether hope is worth the price of everything they have left.
Previously published as Patience.
