A carefully crafted and utterly compelling tale of lost opportunity and impossible choices.

Amanda Brooke, author of The Affair, delves into the depths of the human heart in her latest novel, Why Do You Love Your Child?

The question posed by Brooke is thought-provoking and challenges our preconceived notions of parenthood. Is it solely because our children achieve academic excellence, excel in sports, or simply because they are ours?

Sarah and Phil, a loving couple, are parents to two children, James and Lauren. They share the same dreams and aspirations for their children as any other parent, but their world is turned upside down when they discover that their perfect baby daughter, Lauren, has been born with a flaw. A tiny, but life-changing glitch that will irrevocably shape her future and theirs.

At first, the family adapts and thrives, overcoming the challenges that come their way. However, one day, a blood test casts doubt on the very foundation of their family. Lauren is not Phil's child. Suddenly, their precious family is on the brink of destruction.

But the truth they face is far more complex and challenging than simple infidelity. It tests their capacity to love, each other, and their children, and raises the question of what makes a family and what breaks it.

Through the struggles and revelations of the Brooke's characters, we are taken on a emotional journey that explores the depths of human relationships and the resilience of the human spirit.

Why Do You Love Your Child? is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that will leave readers contemplating the intricacies of love, family, and the choices we make in life.
