From a New York Times–bestselling author, “a surprisingly thoughtful and compelling tale” about the decision a single father makes to protect his child (Publishers Weekly).
Four years ago, nineteen-year-old Travis Brown made a choice: to raise his newborn daughter on his own. While most of his friends were out partying and meeting girls, Travis was at home, changing diapers and worrying about keeping food on the table. But he’s never regretted his decision. Bella is the light of his life. The reason behind every move he makes. And so far, she is fed. Cared for. Safe.
But when Travis loses his construction job and his home, the security he’s worked so hard to create for Bella begins to crumble. . . .
Then a miracle. A job in Raleigh has the power to turn their fortunes around. It has to. But when Travis arrives in Raleigh, there is no job, only an offer to participate in a onetime criminal act that promises quick money and no repercussions.
With nowhere else to turn, Travis must make another choice for his daughter’s sake.
Even if it means he might lose her.

“A complex, heart-wrenching tale . . . a Jodi Picoult–like story line yanked from the most shocking of headlines. . . . each scene and character should grab readers and keep them eagerly turning pages right up to the startling climax.” —Booklist
“A compelling tale of friendship and motherhood told with compassion and vivid honesty. Chamberlain takes the reader on a taut journey filled with secrets, heartbreak and the power of hope. Impossible to put down.” —Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times–bestselling author of The Overnight Guest
