One Last Second
Summary
I never expected to be doubted, but if I can't make them believe me, what then? I sit here beside her stroking her tiny hands as she sleeps and she looks so perfect. It never crossed my mind that something would be wrong with my sweet girl and I’d be powerless to do anything to help her. When Madeline's six-year-old daughter Tilly collapses one Sunday night, Madeline’s world is turned upside down. Racing to the hospital, she imagines the worst scenarios in her mind, but when they arrive the doctors say that Tilly is fine. Madeline’s ex-husband Adam and her best friend Laura think Madeline is being overprotective, that Tilly fainted because of her fussy eating. But Madeline is sure something is seriously wrong with Tilly. She can feel it. And she believes that a mother’s instinct is never wrong. As Madeline embarks on a desperate journey to have Tilly re-diagnosed, taking her in and out of hospital, Adam and Laura begin to wonder if Tilly would be safer in Adam’s care. Madeline just wants to keep her daughter safe, but the harder she pushes the closer she comes to losing her.... One Last Second is an emotional reminder of just how far a mother will go to protect her child. Readers and listeners of Jodi Picoult, Diane Chamberlain, and Kate Hewitt will never be able to forget this heartbreaking and beautiful story.

My Only Child
Summary
There he is, my baby boy. His eyes are closed; his tiny rosebud mouth is pursed in sleep. My eyes well up as I catch a whiff of his newborn skin, and I swallow back a wave of emotion. I should feel happy, I should feel grateful, but all I can think about is everything I just lost.... It’s a miracle when Katherine’s baby boy is born healthy. But his twin sister doesn’t survive, and when Katherine is told she can’t have any more children, the loss is almost too much for her to bear. Katherine always saw herself having a big family: She remembers how the loneliness of being an only child used to overwhelm her, and she is desperate to adopt a sibling for her son. But her husband, Davis, won’t agree. He worries that Katherine will struggle when the new baby arrives. What if growing their family only adds to the grief she feels over losing her little girl? What if this breaks their marriage apart? And Katherine is forced to make a choice. Give up the second child she has always dreamed of or risk losing the family she already has? Listeners of Jodi Picoult, Diane Chamberlain, and Kate Hewitt will remember this story forever.
