This Fragile Life by Kate Hewitt
You love your best friend. You trust her with your life.
But could you give her the most precious gift of all?
But could you give her the most precious gift of all?
Alex's life is a mess. She's barely holding down a job, only just affording her apartment, and can't remember when she was last in a relationship. An unexpected pregnancy is the last thing she needs.
Martha's life is on track. She's got the highflying career, the gorgeous home and the loving husband. But one big thing is missing. Five rounds of IVF and still no baby.
The solution seems simple. Alex knows that Martha can give her child everything that she can't provide. But Martha's world may not be as perfect as it seems, and letting go isn't as easy as Alex expected it to be. Now they face a decision that could shatter their friendship forever.
This is a story about infertility and adoption and all that can go wrong with the process. It is a story about life and death. More than that it is a story of relationships and personal growth.
The book is told in alternating viewpoints from Martha, who has always dreamed of being a mother, and Alex, who has already had two abortions and doesn't see room for a child in her future.
We learn about their friendship and about their relationships with their own families.
PERCEPTION is a major influence in this book.
One can not predict how she, herself, would respond or react in the same situation.
When all is said and done, this is a book about love.
