A Mother’s Last WishTwo sisters, one heartbreaking promise...
To everyone who knows them, Louisa and Tom are the perfect couple. They have two beautiful kids, Stan and Flo, and are about to celebrate ten years of being happily married. Life is perfect. But when Lou is dealt devastating news, that perfect life is turned upside down and Lou and Tom must reevaluate the very foundations their marriage is built on.
Lou’s main concern is who will look after her children if she’s not there to care for them? Will anyone be able to love them like she does?
Holly can’t face the news that Lou is sick. As her older twin sister, she and Lou have always been together, and Holly has always tried to protect Lou. So she’ll do anything, promise anything, to make Lou feel safe and happy. Holly loves Stan and Flo fiercely, but with no children of her own can she ever be the mother her sister wants and needs for her children?
Determined to make the most of every last precious moment, Lou’s final wish for her family is to show them what it really means to live and love. And as Tom and Holly try to navigate their own pain, their only care is to shower Flo and Stan with love and help them make the most of every moment together.

First, I want to thank Jo Bartlett, Boldwood Books, NetGalley and Rachel's Random Resources for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.
WOW!!!! Jo Bartlett’s A Mother’s Last Wish was an incredibly emotionally difficult book to read as I just lost my father in December. There were many many parts of the book where I found myself ugly crying (you will need tissues for this book). Jo wrote a very beautiful story with many insightful messages that went outside the box in creative writing.
Jo dedicates this book to the two she couldn’t bear to leave Anna and Harry.
In a Mother’s Last Wish Jo Bartlett educates her reader’s about Pancreatic Cancer that Louisa is diagnosed with and Breast Cancer that her twin sister Holly has.
My heart went out to Lousia who just got diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and has two adorable young children. This is when my heart broke in a million pieces. I was blessed to have my Dad for 48 years..but these characters in the book wouldn’t have their Mom for that long. She wouldn’t get to see their big milestones and that tore me up. I was blessed to have that. I didn’t realize that til I read Jo’s book.
My favorite part of the book was when they had Disney Movie night with Pizza and munchies and the characters Lilo and Stitch came for the kids! How cool was that? My kid at heart would be flipping out!
There was a very unique twist to this story.
