About this listen
If you were offered a chance to cure your child's disease, would you take it?
The Willows have been through a lot. Louise has devoted her life to caring for her disabled youngest daughter. Pete works abroad, almost never seeing his loved ones. Their eldest, Eliza, is burdened by all the secrets she's trying to keep from her overloaded family.
Meanwhile, Patience observes the world while trapped in her own body. She laughs; she cries; she has opinions and knows what she wants. But those who love her most - and make every decision about her life - will never know.
Or will they? When the Willows are offered the opportunity for Patience to take part in a new gene therapy trial to cure her Rett syndrome, they face an impossible dilemma. Are the very real risks worth the chance of the reward, no matter how small?

"An extraordinary novel about love and hope and family and what happens in the space between the words. I adored it." (Kirsten Hesketh, author of Another Us)

A really great read, not too taxing but covering lots of hard hitting issues faced by carers, families of children with disabilities, how it can damage relationships, impact other siblings, clinical trials, etc it’s all in there.
A very good read and definitely one that deserves a place in a disability section of a bookshop even though the author isn’t disabled herself.
Spot on disabled characterisation from genuine experience and research
