Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

What the world saw, and what it didn't.

Nothing could ever have prepared me for this. Some days it breaks me, and I can't even bear to do it. I always thought I was tough, but it brings me to my knees every single time.

Safiyya's beautiful baby daughter, Azaylia, was eight weeks old when she was diagnosed with leukaemia. By the age of eight months, Safiyya and her partner, Ashley, had to say their final goodbye.

This is Safiyya's account of motherhood, hope and loss. It is about the unbreakable and incomparable bond between mother and daughter...about what happens to a family when they face a life without the person that completed them, putting listeners in the shoes no parent wants to be in. But, above all, it's a celebration of a remarkable little life that showed spirit that no baby should have to and a family who loved and fought to hold onto every precious moment.

The best book I've ever listened to!

Just simply beautiful and heartbreaking. This book had me in tears , a story of love , strength, fight and most importantly the beautiful bond between mother and daughter that can never be broken. I feel so much sadness for Saffiya and Ashley, they are an inspiration. Definitely worth a listen, it will make you realise that love is the most important aspect of life, nothing else matters, beautiful book.

Heartbreaking yet inspirational

One of the saddest books i have read in a while. What a strong couple. I have been through grief & started a charity after loss but i know too well how consuming& how much energy it takes out of you on a daily basis. I hope Saffiya is one day able to find peace and find her way back to club 100! Inspirational woman you did your baby girl proud!

Amazing Mummy

I have followed Ashley and Safiyya for years, what an incredible pair. This book shows the heartbreak of Azaylia’s journey but gives us an insight into how amazing Saf is!! An honest, raw and utterly devastating journey xx
