Mothers talk about impossible choices. But, as I look at my daughter in a hospital bed, her red hair fanning out around her, my heart feels literally torn in two. Should I risk my son’s life to save my daughter, or keep my little boy safe and watch my precious girl slip away?
My darling daughter Tara has a rare form of cancer and there’s nothing I can do. At eleven years old, she’s already been so brave, but my sweet girl is hanging on by her fingernails. She has one last chance: a bone marrow transplant from her little brother. But nine-year-old Callum has an autoimmune disease, and there’s a chance it will put him at risk.
It’s life or death for one of my children and I have to make this decision alone.
I wish there was someone by my side to help me and my family through this terrible time. But life has hit us so hard recently. A few months ago, my beloved husband died in a tragic accident and now I might lose Tara too. All I want to do is to protect my children: so much has been taken from us already. I hope for a miracle, but my daughter is running out of days, and I have to choose.
If I make the wrong choice, will I lose one of my precious children forever?
Totally heartbreaking and gripping fiction about parenting, loss and finding light in the darkest of times. If you love Jodi Picoult, Kate Hewitt and Jojo Moyes, this novel will stay in your heart forever.

An Impossible ChoiceWritten By Alison Ragsdale
Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Review’s
First, I want to thank Alison Ragsdale, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.
Warning you are going to want to grab your box of tissues and clear your schedule for the day. Alison Ragsdale’s An Impossible Choice is an incredibly emotionally filled book that pulls hard on your heartstrings. No parent should have to be put in the situation she was put in or choose the outcome..it was just sad. I wish I could have lept into the book and comforted her.
Alison doesn’t waste any time jumping into the fast paced prologue detailing the intense horror at sea that Kenny and his wife Honour were experiencing. It was an action packed scene that you would see in a movie. I was at the edge of my comfy chair dying to know what was going to happen to Kenny!
From the prologue the book jumps back three weeks prior to the events that occurred at sea. It is here we get to know Kenny a little bit more along with meeting the other characters.
Alison educates her readers on Ménière’s a disease that one of her character’s Callum suffers from.
So many times I just wanted to jump into the book and give the characters a comforting hug! There were just so many tragedies, heartache, pain and grief many characters were facing.
