About this ebook
A birthday gift leads to a life-changing confession, and infertility tests the strength of a marriage.
—Splinter of Hope—
What does anyone know about love at eighteen?
All I was sure of was how much I loved my daughter… and giving her away destroyed me.
Because back then the only labels I wore proved I was unwanted.
Since we met, Trig has stood by my side. A protector. A lover.
A splinter of hope that my arms won’t always be empty.
He says he loves me, and I finally have the desire to lay my secrets bare.
Except giving Trig another reason to walk away feels a lot like sacrificing our future… And I’ve already made one decision that shattered my heart.
—Holding Onto Hope—
Sometimes you can’t give the people you love everything they want no matter how hard you try. Other times, people need more of you than you’re capable of giving. I’m at a crossroads between my wants and their needs.
Kimber and I haven’t been able to grow our family and the clock is winding down. My friendship with Jake is becoming a nightmare. Convinced everyone has it better than he does, my partner can’t see the damage he’s inflicting on himself and those around us.
Forced to choose, I’m holding onto hope that it’s never too late.
