My hands are shaking as my fingers curl around the small, neatly wrapped box. There’s a tag dangling from the centre of the red bow which says Love from Kayla in her beautiful, swirly handwriting. I read over the three words countless times, tracing the letters with my fingertip. How is this possible? Heather’s beloved daughter, Kayla, is her world. She is fifteen, a brilliant basketball player and a fierce friend. Heather and Kayla have always had a special relationship. For so many years it was just the two of them, watching Friends, baking cupcakes and laughing together. But now Kayla knows her time is short, and she wants to give something back to the mother she loves more than anyone else in the world. A gift that will change Heather’s life. With just a handful of days left, Kayla will need help from everyone around her to make this last surprise happen. Along the way, the people whose lives have been touched by Kayla’s light will be changed by her loss, and by her plan for Heather. And as Heather’s whole world threatens to fall apart, could Kayla’s forever gift be the key to piecing her life back together? An absolutely unputdownable, heartbreaking and ultimately uplifting novel about motherhood, family and how far we go to protect those we love. Perfect for fans of Diane Chamberlain, Jill Childs, and Kerry Fisher. Readers absolutely adore The Forever Gift:‘So captivating yet absolutely heartbreaking at the same time… I couldn’t actually see due to the great big fat tears spilling from my eyes… Written with such compassion and straight from the heart I didn’t want it to end. This is not a book to read out in public unless you don’t mind being a big snotty mess. Brooke Harris you are amazing.’ NetGalley Reviewer, 5 stars ‘Oh my goodness, where do I even start with my review for this amazing book. What an absolutely fabulous read, there were times I had to stop reading as I couldn’t see the words through my tears. This book broke me in places and yes there was also plenty of smiles too at times… This is a fantastic read and one I highly recommend. A massive five star read from me.’ Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars ‘Oh my, I have to admit I sobbed reading this book, broke my heart. I went and gave my sixteen-year-old old daughter a huge hug and told her I loved her always… Kayla was so brave and thought of what would happen to her mother… Heartbreaking story. I loved it though even through the tears.’ NetGalley Reviewer, 5 stars ‘What a poignant tear jerker of a book!... Very much about hope, love, family and letting go!..…
