If I Should Go
Rachel is a single mum to Hope, and since Hope’s father left, has raised her daughter alone. They are as close as can be. So when Martin enters her life, he’s a breath of fresh air – the first guy that she has felt a connection to in a long time. But Martin’s plans for the future appear to be different to Rachel’s day-dreams: a future for two, without Hope…
At the Sunny Days nursing home where Rachel works, Mrs Wilson is convalescing after a fall. But although she’s only staying for a short time, there’s a finality about her that Rachel just can’t get to grips with. Despite Mrs Wilson’s initial reluctance, Rachel starts to break through her tough exterior but she doesn’t seem to be able to get beneath the surface.
As the clock starts to count down to the end of Mrs Wilson’s stay and Martin’s eventual move to Liverpool time is running out for Rachel to make a difference. The question is: what could she give up for love?

I don't really have high expectations for short stories, but I rather enjoyed this one. With just 100 pages, Amanda Brooke delivered a heartfelt inspiring story that I didn't want to end.
I instantly liked Rachel and had a lot of empathy for her as struggled to make a difficult decision, and I just loved Mrs Wilson's story - her story really tugged at my heartstrings!
Another read I do recommend, although I do wish there was more.

I really enjoy reading Amanda Brooke’s book, I have enjoyed all of the books I have read by her. I would recommend her to any reader, maybe I am biased as a fellow Liverpool Person, I love books that name places in my home city.
