I’m posting my review for This Child Of Mine by Emma-Claire Wilson. Thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources and the publisher for my gifted ebook to write my review today.
When Stephanie is told she’s pregnant and that she is sick on the same day, she faces an impossible choice…
After trying for a baby for so long, finding out I was pregnant was supposed to be the happiest day of my life. But in the same breath as the news I had been waiting years to hear, the doctor told me I was seriously ill.
If I carry my baby to term, I will almost certainly die.
If I proceed with treatment, my baby will not live.
My husband – the father of this child – is telling me to save myself. But with all the secrets I know he is keeping from me, I can’t trust him anymore.
What would you do?
An emotional yet uplifting tear-jerker that will have you reaching for the tissues – perfect for fans of EMMA ROBINSON and JODI PICOULT.
It is a contemporary, heartbreaking yet uplifting story. This Child Of Mine is one of the most emotional books I have read. I will say, make sure you have some tissues around. You will need them at some point.
Emma-Claire Wilson has taken subjects that could be classed as every womans nightmare. Discovering she is pregnant and is very ill at the same time, puts Stephanie in a position that she never thought she would be. Stephanie and her husband James think their dreams have come true. They have suffered so much, and now she is pregnant! Then they discover ahe has a life threatening illness and there is a choice to be made, an impossible choice. What would you do if it was you or your baby? What will Stephanie choose?
An absolute tearjerker of a book! The author skillfully weaves a tale that the reader feels like they are walking alongside Stephanie and James. I felt every single emotion that played out as I read. I felt the pressure on both of them. James himself has his secrets and struggles from his past. This, in turn, creates even more issues for the couple.
It isn’t what I call an easy read. It’s one that I read and had to think about before I wrote this review. The rawness of the emotions, the love and hope that shines through every word. It’s a book that I dont think I will forget in a hurry.
Emma-Claire Wilson has written a debut that made a mark on me. I will be so interested in reading her next book.

Author Bio
Emma-Claire Wilson is an author of emotional commercial and book club fiction. She writes ‘to make sense of the world’, and loves nothing more than tackling tough subjects and issues that affect her readers on a daily basis.
When she is not writing fiction, she enjoys exercising her brain muscles with freelance copywriting, coaching other writers or writing articles for The Glass House Online Magazine.
Her debut, This Child of Mine, although not autobiographical, was based on personal experiences and resulted in a highly emotional piece of fiction that secured her representation with Kate Nash Literary Agency.
After almost 20 years living on the continent, she returned to the UK with her husband, two daughters and rescue dog, Pip. Now, trying hard to acclimatise to the UK weather, you will mostly find her snuggled under a blanket; sometimes dreaming of her next holiday in the sun but mostly reading stories that affect her or writing books she hopes will affect others.
