The emotional finale to the bestselling Cornish Midwife series! Get your tissues ready!

Midwife Jess is so used to helping other mums achieve their dreams that she’s put her own hopes of motherhood firmly on hold. After having her heart broken once before, Jess is determined to focus all she has on her small family and stepson Riley and make sure he feels safe, happy and loved.

But when Jess is asked to care for a tiny baby and new mum in need of support, she’s torn. Jess wants to help, but she isn’t sure her battered heart could cope with saying goodbye to another baby she’s fallen in love with.

Jess knows this could be the happy ever after she’s always dreamed of, but what if it costs her more heartache along the way? Is she brave enough to take one last chance at motherhood?

I have to say at times as I was reading this, for fair amounts of the book I was doubting how accurate the title was, as omg these characters were really put through the wringer. 

And I was ready to do unspeakable things to the author if, especially knowing it was the end of the series, the characters didn't get suitable end points. 

Delighted to say that by the end I was practically in tears, of happiness, it was fabulous! 

We are treated to more of Jess's story, and given how much I felt for her, in the previous book she was leading, I was already hooked from the start. And our other main character this time is Meg, and I would never have guessed at her storyline at all. 

There is so much drama, action, emotion, babies, and more in this book and the series as a whole. 

I know I'm really going to miss all of the midwives in this series. Gwen had me laughing as always and I have to say I really hope we haven't seen the last of all of these characters.  I'm rather hoping there may be a spin off series or something else set in the area! But that could just be wishful thinking. 

This is a wonderful ending to what has been a rather special series. Just amazing. 

Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
