    About this ebook

    Maria Housden tells of her own transformation, as a mother, a wife and a woman, as she struggled to cope with the death of her daughter Hannah and make the hardest decision of her life. From the author of the bestselling Hannah’s Gift.

    • At the age of 36, instead of enjoying the perfect family life she had imagined as a child, Maria felt judged and found wanting by others. She realised that, no matter how much she still loved her husband and how powerful her bond of love was with her children, she had to change her life radically – and make it her own again. So began an emotional and enlightening search for herself.
    • Written in the same moving, lyrical style as Hannah’s Gift, the story unfolds in a series of painful, joyful and humorous moments, at times heart-wrenchingly sad, but ultimately uplifting.

      the worst book I have ever read. It's a ridiculous story of a woman attempting to justify leaving her husband and children. Not only is the subject matter objectionable, it is written in the style of a high school expository writing assignment. The author never uses just one adjective when she can use three. Just an awful waste of time.
