Sleepless nights were just the beginning . . . Natalie Fanning already loves her newborn son, Oliver, with everything she has. From the moment he was born she knew that she was meant to be his mother, even though she didn't want that to be all she was. When Oliver refuses to sleep, and her husband Tyler returns to work, Nat is left mostly alone in a new house, in a new neighbourhood, the task of keeping her small son healthy and happy on her shoulders alone. No one else can breastfeed Oliver; no one else will protect him like she can; no one can help her. No one, that is, except her neighbour Paul. Paul is everything Tyler isn't, and provides the lifeline she needs in what feels like the most desperate of times. When Paul is helping with Oliver, calmed by his reassuring, steady presence, Nat feels like she can finally rest. But Paul wants something in return. It's no coincidence that he has befriended Nat - she is the perfect pawn for his own plan . . .

This book stirred up all kinds of emotions within me. I struggled to connect with the new mother, Natalie. Once I realized what was happening, I reminded myself that it is something many women go through and I was able to move forward with an open mind. There were all kinds of dark, depressing moments as she struggled to do what she felt needed to be done.
The neighbor, Paul, kept me on pins and needles. I never knew what he was going to do or what his plan was. I wanted to like him. I wanted him to be a hero. I needed someone in this book to be a hero. One did eventually show up much to my relief.
This has a huge build up and when things are just about to be revealed it cuts off and we are fast forwarded to life in the aftermath of it all. I felt a bit cheated that I didn�t get to see it all unfold. Natalie�s story was exhausting, which is a testament to this author�s writing, and the ending, while a bit whitewashed, was satisfying enough. Be sure to read the author�s note as it shines so much light on this story and this topic.
