What I Wouldn't Give (a long short story with a twist) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

“When I first set eyes on Chrissie Rhodes, I thought she was the kind of girl who could make the heavens sing.”It begins innocently enough. When Matt stops his cab to pick up Chrissie Rhodes, she’s just another customer. A little better looking than most, maybe. A little bit quicker to anger. But other than that, there’s nothing out of the ordinary about her.Then Matt finds the business card she’s left behind. Chrissie Rhodes. Sales.What Chrissie is selling isn’t immediately obvious. Possibilities are hinted at. Ambiguous, suggestive possibilities offering hope.And when you’re in a terrible situation – and Matt and his wife, Bobbi, are in a terrible situation, perhaps the very worst situation anyone can be in – even the most tenuous of hopes is something to grasp hold of.Could Chrissie Rhodes really offer them the unthinkable, a cure for their terminally ill son?And if so, just what does she want in return for doing so?What wouldn’t you give to save your only child?What I Wouldn’t Give is a 15,000-word story that asks questions of the soul and explores the depths of parents’ love for their children. Engaging and moving, with the possibility of a twist at the end, enter a world where anything is achievable . . . for a price.Available now for the first time as an electronic book.About the AuthorMark Patrick Lynch is the author of HOUR OF THE BLACK WOLF (published in hardcover by Robert Hale Ltd in 2012) and numerous short stories, mainstream and genre.
