Synopsis

Brought to you by Penguin.

What the world saw, and what it didn't

"Nothing could ever have prepared me for this. Some days it breaks me, and I can't even bear to do it. I always thought I was tough, but it brings me to my knees every single time."

Safiyya's beautiful baby daughter, Azaylia, was eight weeks old when she was diagnosed with leukaemia. By the age of 8 months, Safiyya and her partner, Ashley, had to say their final goodbye.

This is Safiyya's account of motherhood, hope and loss. It is about the unbreakable and incomparable bond between mother and daughter ... about what happens to a family when they face a life without the person that completed them, putting readers in the shoes no parent wants to be in. But, above all, it's a celebration of a remarkable little life that showed spirit that no baby should have to and a family who loved and fought to hold onto every precious moment.

The most gut wrenching but truly beautiful story. I knew the book would hurt but I didn’t expect to start and finish it within 24 hours, engulfed in the sadness and bravery of one little family. My heart broke and tears fell throughout the whole novel. My eyes are extremely puffy but my heart is so......more

Dear Safiyya and Ashley I litterly cried and cried reading this book. No parent should ever lose a child and no child should ever die before their parents. The bond you all had as a family is amazing! And Azaylia is one amazing stong baby! She coped with so much and was a trooper until the end. This......more
