For fans of Jodi Picoult and If Only I Could Tell You, Penny Hancock's The Choice is an engrossing, thought-provoking novel about family secrets and the way that even the smallest decisions can sometimes have far-reaching consequences.

'Emotional and thought-provoking' - Jenny Quintana, author of The Hiding Place

An estranged daughter.
Renee Gulliver appears to have it all: a beautiful house overlooking a scenic estuary on England's East Coast, a successful career as a relationship therapist, three grown-up children, and a beloved grandson, Xavier.

A missing grandson.
But then Xavier vanishes after Renee fails to pick him up from school, and the repercussions are manifold.

A mother faced with an impossible choice.
Renee is wracked with remorse; the local community question her priorities, clients abandon her; and, as long-held grievances surface, her daughter Mia offers her a heartbreaking ultimatum.

Amid recriminations, misunderstandings and lies, can Renee find a way to reunite her family?

MEDIA REVIEWS
A perfect evocation of the complex modern family . . . I found myself holding my breath while reading it, hoping that Xavier would be found unhurt, and identifying with the beautifully drawn characters, as past mistakes come home to roost . . . A real tour de force -- Kate Rhodes
A hugely readable, carefully perceptive story of family dynamics tough and tender. Rife with entrenched positions, assumptions and gut-wrenching mistakes, it is ultimately loving and redemptive -- Louise Foxcroft
The Choice is an emotional and thought-provoking novel which explores the nature of love and guilt, and the impact of the decisions we make on others and ourselves, through compelling characters and sensitive and absorbing prose -- Jenny Quintana
A gut-wrenching story about the power of our decisions * Woman's Own *
A brilliantly woven story around issues that so many women know only too well - Julia Crouch, author of The New Mother
Beautifully written, thought-provoking, and brimming with powerful and recognisable emotions, Hancock's superbly wrought story speaks straight from the heart * Blackpool Gazette *
A compelling story of forgiveness and redemption. Powerful, moving, and beautifully written -- Susan Elliot Wright
