Plot: 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 debut! - heartwrenching, gripping & hopeful.
⭐ Patience is funny, smart, opinionated & a huge Take That fan (all the best people are ). It was refreshing to read such a three-dimensional character, yes she is severely disabled but that is far from all she is.
⭐ A huge light is shone on Retts syndrome (a disability I'd never heard of until now) but the harsh realities of living with & caring for a person who is severely disabled aren't glamorized in any way.
⭐ Brilliantly written, Scott has struck the balance between humor & heartbreak perfectly.
⭐ It's a story that stays with you long after you have turned the final page & I wholeheartedly recommend it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
