The lump in my throat dissolves into tears. “They’re going to take Noah away, Pete."

“No judge will ever rule that a child should be taken away from his parents.” My husband’s voice is defiant.

“Even if it turns out we’re not his parents?”

Izzy’s eight-year-old son Noah is her whole life. With his long eyelashes, mischievous grin and boundless energy, he’s got her husband Pete’s sunny outlook and Izzy’s curious mind. When they receive a surprise phone call from the fertility center that helped them have Noah, it’s surely nothing to worry about.

But what they learn from that call sends their dreams for their son crashing down around them. Eight years ago, someone made a terrible mistake at the center, and there’s a possibility that precious Noah isn’t actually their child.

Izzy and Pete know that they will fight to keep their beautiful boy at any cost… but if Noah’s parents are out there somewhere, is it right to keep them from their son? When a shocking diagnosis brings things to a head, Izzy must decide what’s right for Noah, even if it means sacrificing the person she loves most in the world…

From a million-copy bestselling author comes a heart-wrenching family dilemma inspired by a true story. If you love Jodi Picoult, Diane Chamberlain and Kerry Fisher, you won’t be able to put this book down.  

Dani Atkins is an award-winning novelist. Her 2013 debut THEN AND ALWAYS (published as FRACTURED in the UK) has been translated into seventeen languages and has sold more than half a million copies globally.

Dani lives in a small village in the English countryside, in a 300 year old cottage, with her husband, one Siamese cat and a very soppy Border Collie.

A Million Dreams By Dani Atkins 

Review by Heidi Lynn's Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Dani Atkins, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Dani Atkins instantly pulled on my heart strings with that adorable boy on the cover of her novel A Million Dreams. I was not blessed to be a mother yet I am a very proud Auntie. However, my heart went out to those two mothers as I can’t imagine being in either of those woman’s shoes. The heartache and pain each one had to face just killed me.

This book touches on some very important issues like infertility and IVF.

Dani is an such an incredible writer pulling out such great emotions out of her characters in such a delicate story to tell. There was so much tragedy, death, and loss in this book. So many characters in this book your heart just broke for. Many times I wanted to reach into the book and give them a hug.

Nobody touched my heart more than Noah did. He was the sweetest boy ever. He wanted nothing more than his separated parents together again. I loved how he played Danny Zuko in his schools’ production of Greece. One of the most heart wrenching scene that Dani did an incredible job was the one where Noah had a major allergic reaction to Strawberries. He had the reaction very badly. That scene I was so scared for not only him but for his mother too.

I loved that there was a flower shop in this book called Crazy Daisy! It was such a cute name for a flower shop.

Dani has always been a big believer that everything happens for a reason-it’s a phrase the characters in the book mention more than once.
