Will you help me become a mother?’ My sister whispers, her hands clasping mine. ‘You’re my only hope…’

When my sister asks me to help her have a child, I already know I will say yes. She has always dreamed of being a mother, and this might be her last chance.

Not long after the embryo is created, my sister is killed in a tragic hiking accident. The grief of losing my best friend is unbearable, but in the days that follow I realize there is a shimmer of hope: I can still fulfill her dream, and bring her baby into the world.

But no matter what I do, I can’t stop thinking about my sister’s last words to me. On the day she died, she said there was something she needed to tell me. And when mybrother-in-law finally tells me what my sister was hiding, I can barely breathe.

My heart breaks as I realize I may not have known my sister at all. But now I know her terrible secret, do I have the strength to be the mother of her child?

An emotional and unputdownable story about what it means to be a mother. Perfect for fans who love Kate Hewitt, Jodi Picoult and Diane Chamberlain.

My Sister’s Only Hope

Written By Alison Ragsdale 

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews 

First, I want to thank Alison Ragsdale, Bookouture, and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can provide you with this review. 

Heads up you may want to grab a box of tissues before sitting down to read Alison Ragsdale’s latest My Sister’s Only Hope! Alison quickly tugged on my heart strings with this one and had me tearing up. My Sister’s Only Hope was definitely an extremely emotionally powerful rollercoaster ride with a lot of twists and turns you never saw coming. 

I found it appropriate that Alison would dedicate this book to her forever friends that are her sisters!

There was a quote by an unknown person that Alison used in her book that touched me deeply about sisters being like stars, not seeing them but knowing they are always there. I have two sisters who both live in different states that I don’t get to see as much as I would like to. 

Ohh it is a phone call that you never want to get!! My heart instantly ached for Kenzie!! I can relate to her getting a call like that about a relative and feeling all those feels!! 

I love the bond that these two sisters Kenzie and Olivia had. Not to mention that they would do anything for eachother if it meant making eachother happy. 

My Sister’s Only Hope deals with important issues like IVF, fertility issues, grief, etc. Plus, even deep painful hidden secrets of the past. 

Alison’s ending I was kinda shocked by and didn’t see that coming. I was actually routing for another outcome.
