A mother’s worst nightmare, a chance at redemption, and a deadly secret that haunts a family across the generations\u2014\u201cthe psychological thriller everyone will be talking about\u201d (Lisa Scottaline)<\/strong><\/strong>

There’s only room for one mother in this family.<\/em>

Claire Abrams’s dreams became a nightmare when she passed on a genetic mutation that killed her little boy. Now she wants a second chance to be a mother, and finds it in Robert Nash, a maverick fertility doctor who works under the radar with Jillian Hendricks, a cunning young scientist bent on making her mark–and seducing her boss.

Claire, Robert, and Jillian work together to create the world’s first baby with three genetic parents–an unprecedented feat that could eliminate inherited disease. But when word of their illegal experiment leaks to the wrong person, Robert escapes into hiding with the now-pregnant Claire, leaving Jillian to serve out a prison sentence that destroys her future.

Ten years later, a spunky girl named Abigail begins to understand that all is not right with the reclusive man and woman she knows as her parents. But the family’s problems are only beginning. Jillian, hardened by a decade of jealousy and loss, has returned–and nothing will stop her from reuniting with the man and daughter who should have been hers.

Past, present, and future converge in this mesmerizing psychological thriller from critically acclaimed author Kira Peikoff.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Um…this book. Wow. What the heck did I just listen to??<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I went in completely blind, which I highly reccomend doing if you can and what a ride it was. I had absolutely NO idea what was going on. I was left feeling confused at times, frustrated and stressed out but man, those were amazing feelings to have while listening to this book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So Kira Peikoff is a brand new to me author and this will definitely not be my last book of hers that I read\/listen to. I enjoyed how detailed this book was. There are things in it that I’m left wondering if they can actually happen or not but I’m no doctor or scientist, so I’ll leave that up to the professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Claire and Ethan have been trying for a baby for a while. They had a son, who unfortunately had a medical condition that ended up taking his life. They decided to try for a second baby but that hadn’t happened yet and they weren’t getting any younger. So a woman desperate to have that baby, would almost do anything to have one. Trust me, from someone who knows how that feels, I’ve been tempted to do some crazy things to have a kid of my own. But that’s a story for another day over lots of alcohol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Claire ends up going to this fertility doctor and it all becomes crazy from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A woman desperate to have another baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A scientist desperate to make her way in a world that for the most part, is run by men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A man who thinks this fertility doctor’s ways are unethical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wow. Just wow. I really enjoyed the twists and turns in this book. I was left yelling at my phone, demanding to know what was going on and I was trying to urge the narrators on to talk faster. I needed to know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book is written in 3 different POVs (point of views) and I enjoyed them all but the one, actually got on my nerves part way through the book. If you listen to the audio book of this, you’ll understand why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you, Kira, for an amazing story and for making me feel things as a reader that doesn’t normally happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh and if you like a little romance with your suspense, this book has that too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
