After losing her husband, Kenny, at sea, Honour is left to hold together the family for her two children, Tara and Callum. They are all doing the best they can when Tara is diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her knee, requiring surgery and treatment. The only hope for her survival is a bone marrow transplant, but the closest match is Callum, who suffers from an immune disorder that means the transplant would put his life at risk. As Honour weighs her choices, there is one more option, but this requires facing wrenching issues from the past. Ragsdale’s (Tuesday’s Socks) latest is a heartbreaking look at a family visited by unthinkable tragedy. Paula Masterson narrates Honour as she weathers heartache after heartache, contends with impossible choices, and marshals her strength. Listeners may find themselves tearing up as this already battered family tries to find its footing. There are several twists and turns, some of which audiences may see coming, while others are utterly unpredictable.
VERDICT A heart-wrenching and reflective look at motherhood and the enduring bonds of family. Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult.
