About this listen

Mark and Sarah have everything they've ever wanted. With a baby boy on the way, all of their dreams are finally coming true. But the world has other plans for them. Soon the idyll is ripped from under their feet, and both are left to pick up the pieces of their broken lives.

As Sarah falls into the abyss of a deep depression, Mark struggles to keep things together. Then life throws yet another curveball, leaving Mark not only heartbroken and distraught, but without a source of income. And just when he thinks there's nothing else to lose, Sarah proves that so much more is at stake.

Battling his losses while trying to make sense of dreams that seem far too real, Mark is faced with a choice that rocks the foundations of reality as he knows it. Will tragedy separate him from those he loves, or will his heart show him another path?

DESCRIPTION:

Mark and Sarah, a young couple expecting their first child, their son-to-be, James. Until, one day their dreams of a family are cruelly snatched away from them when they are given the news that James' heart has stopped and he will be stillborn. As Sarah falls into a deep depression, Mark tries to get his life back on track in-between some horribly real-feeling dreams. A sad, hard story, which leads Mark and Sarah through a series of events, ultimately leading to a beautifully unexpected finale.

This book is heartbreaking story about the loss of a child and the effect it has on the whole family told from the prospective of the father. It is brutally honest and painful but a totally absorbing audio.

This book is so beautifully written and the narration is wonderful. I loved the fact that it was told from the male perspective. A great debut.

Heartbreakingly real and stunning story about the journey beyond tragedy and loss. Don’t read without tissues but an absolute must read!

A beautiful, real story, full of all the struggles one life can through at you, but also full of love. You'll laugh and cry, in equal measure.

Beautiful and Heartbreaking.

This is a subject that no one wants to understandably experience and is rarely, if not ever, told from the man’s perspective. It’s a tragic story, with a brutal unravelling of mind, body and spirit for both of them. There is an honesty to how real people would actually deal with something like this in the book and not a fairy tale “we’ll get through this” approach. It’s sad and brilliantly enlightening with an ending that lets you draw your own conclusions. I was apprehensive about reading a book on this subject, but I’m very glad I did.

Led me out of my comfort zone and so glad it did.
