From multimillion-copy bestselling author Amanda Prowse, comes an emotionally compelling story that asks: what makes you happier - the life you're given, or the one you choose?

She wants it all. But life has other plans...

After years of hard work, Madeleine's life is very nearly perfect. She's about to move to LA to pursue her dream job--and there's a new man on the scene too. But when her mother falls ill, pulling her back to the world she's tried so hard to leave behind, the repercussions of a life-changing decision Madeleine made seven years ago resurface, threatening to jeopardise everything she's worked for.

Faced with the promise of her new life, and the pull of her old, she has to ask herself some tough questions: was what she did then right for her family? How do you know when it's okay to put yourself first? And what's the cost of happiness?

Heartfelt, provocative and emotional, this is a gripping look at the choices women have to make, and whether we really can have it all...
