Janie's son is her world, and it breaks her heart that he has nightmares. That he's terrified of water. That he sometimes pushes her away and screams that he wants his real mother. That it's getting worse and worse and no-one seems to be able to help. In desperation, she turns to someone who might have an answer - but it may not be one she's ready to hear. It may also mean losing the one thing she loves more than anything. Noah.

Really, unexpectedly good with a full breadth of complex emotions - longing, grief, confusion, but also joy, contentedness, and love. It's a difficult book to describe without giving it all away but well worth a read.
