Title: A Million Dreams
Beth Brandon always dreamed of owning a florist, but today the bouquets of peonies and bright spring flowers are failing to calm her nerves. Because today, Beth has a life-changing decision to share with her husband.
Izzy Vaughan thought she and her husband would stay together forever, but sometime last year, their love began to fade. They both find such joy in their young son Noah – but is he enough to keep them together?
Eight years ago, something happened to these two women. Something that is about to bring them together in a way no-one thought possible...
Thought-provoking, emotional and uplifting, this is a gripping love story for fans of Jojo Moyes and Amanda Prowse.

I've spent the past 24 hours extremely resentful of real life separating my from reading at times, regretful that I didn't read this while I was on holiday and would have been able to read it in one sitting, and regularly on the verge of tears, due to the sheer emotion and power behind the words of this book.
It has really got to me, and is easily one of the best books of the year so far for me.
A lot of the power and emotion I feel has come because I had no idea what to expect. The blurb gives very little away, and even the first thing to be revealed, not too far into the story, I think I appreciated all the more because I had no idea it was coming. (OK, I had an inkling perhaps a chapter before but wasn't convinced, and I had the same realisations at couple of times in the book, but never more than a chapter before it happened). And even if I did think i knew what was about to happen, nothing could have prepared me for the way it was written and the impact it had on me.
I was completely immersed in this powerful story, and its one that will hopefully stay with me for a long time. It covers something that would be completely and utter worst nightmare scenarios for the two families involved, and really does take you on a roller coaster of emotions.
I suspect I would have been crying for most of the book if I had my own children, instead I just had a massive feeling of empathy regardless and really did love all the main characters.
For this is an epic love story - but not romantic love, but of a mother's love for their child. It is written from two perspectives and from that you great insight into how both Beth and Izzy cope with a situation that I've never read about before anywhere.
A uniquely wonderful story from an author who always writes powerful stories that grab your heart and don't let go.
Or in short, it left me speechless, I have no idea how anything else I read for a few days will compare to this and just wow!!! If you are a fan of anything with an emotional kick to it, you need to read this book.
Thank you to Head of Zeus and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
Please do take a look at the rest of the stops on this blog tour.
