Grace tells the heartrending story of nineteen-year-old Michelle, who, despite her doubts about motherhood, chooses to give up her baby to the loving couple Amelia and her husband. After years of longing and loss, Amelia's family dreams seem within reach with the adoption of baby Grace. But when Michelle decides to reclaim her daughter, the ensuing legal battle challenges what truly constitutes the best outcome for Grace—her biological mother's love or a stable, nurturing home. This gripping narrative explores the complexities of motherhood, family, and the difficult decisions that alter lives forever.

The gripping and heartbreaking second novel by the author of BA Book of the Month and LoveReading Debut of the Month Patience.

She gave you her baby. Now she wants her back.

Nineteen-year-old Michelle has had a tough life, to say the least. Then she gets pregnant. She is convinced she would be a terrible mother but, having grown up in care, she cannot bring herself to subject her child to the same fate.

Amelia and her husband have dreamed of having a family for years, but have lost all hope after the worst kind of tragedy. Then they are offered the chance to adopt baby Grace, and it feels like they finally have everything they've ever wanted.

But then Michelle decides she wants her daughter back, and it's up to the courts to decide. What is best for Grace – a mother's love, or a stable home? Whatever the ruling, one thing is certain: neither woman's life will ever be the same again...

Praise for Grace:

'Beautiful... Heart-wrenching. A wonderful gem of a book' Eve Ainsworth, author of Duckling

'Warm and real and heart-breaking all at the same time. I loved it' Clare Swatman
