Two women. Two children. But whose is whose?
'An emotionally charged and thought-provoking read that any parent will relate to' Woman's Weekly
When two strangers, Tess and Annie, undergo IVF at an American clinic, their embryos are mixed up and each woman gives birth to the wrong child.
The women only discover the devastating error three years later. Tess wants to swap the children back; Annie doesn't. As the pair wrangle, neither of them expect what unfolds.
