A Mother's Choice
A Mother's Choice | Val Wood
2 posts | 1 read
For ten years, Delia has had to fend for herself and her son Jack, and as a young unmarried mother, life has never been easy. Every new coat and pair of shoes was bought with what little money she could scrape together as a singer on the stage. But when the theatre work dries up, Delia faces a dilemma: continue the search for employment with no knowing whether she’ll find the stability and security her son needs, or return to the place that should be home . . . where only spite and hatred await them. Desperate now, a chance encounter suddenly presents a lifeline. But Delia is faced with an impossible, heart-wrenching choice. Can she bear to leave Jack behind, hoping another family will care for him? Will they ever be reunited? What else can a mother do to give her son the life he deserves? Val Wood's wonderful historical sagas are perfect for readers of Dilly Court, Maggie Hope and Rosie Goodwin.

Took me a long time to get through this one, because it's a genre I don't read often.

The author pulls you in with a heartbreaking situation that unrolls as the book progresses.

First book in sometime that made me stop and think deeply about the situation being presented to me and genuinely made my heart hurt with the reality of the time the story is set.
Absolutely loved it, even though it took a while to finish it.
