Thomas, who is mentally challenged and Chloe fall in love and lust taking Alicia on an unimaginable journey, one laced with pitfalls and misgivings but trying to dispel those misgivings and be open minded and accepting, Alicia finds herself dragged down a path she would never have chosen for her daughter...but is it her choice or Chloe's that should prevail?

This was a very readable book, the narrative flowed and I found myself so invested in the characters, even those I didn't like that I couldn't put it down.
One of the things I felt especially strongly about was how just as Alicia's beliefs, perceptions and realities were tested, so were mine as the reader, not a bad experience at all and a real strength of the author, that she could pull cynical me in and keep me thinking.
I also liked how the author finished the story, to me it was the right thing to do, you may feel the complete opposite.
A thought provoking little book, the title sums up Alicia's most heartfelt wish for Chloe, a wish that was achieved but with quite a price paid.
Available by special order and via the Library System.
