Amelie (Balmain House Book 3)
In the 1980s, Catherine, the daughter of Lizzie, had returned to Sydney to pursue her studies. She now resided in Balmain, the same area where her mother had grown up. Catherine settled into her life there, building a successful career and starting a family of her own. She and her husband were overjoyed when they welcomed their daughter, Amelie, into the world.
Tragically, when Amelie was just two years old, the unimaginable occurred. The young girl was diagnosed with an incurable disease – advanced leukemia. Desperate attempts at other treatments proved futile, and the only remaining option to save Amelie's life was a bone marrow transplant.
A frantic search for a suitable donor ensued, but no match could be found. Catherine's heart sank as she realized that Amelie's unusual tissue profile seemed to be linked to her own father, a man whose identity had long been shrouded in mystery.
The truth was that Catherine had been conceived when her mother, Lizzie, was the victim of a brutal rape by three men. Two of the perpetrators were now serving lengthy prison sentences, while the third had passed away. The weight of this knowledge bore heavily on Catherine as she faced an unthinkable decision.
Could she bring herself to appeal to one of these men, the very people who had subjected her mother to such a horrific ordeal, in a desperate attempt to save her daughter's life? Even then, there was no guarantee that their participation would be successful.
This agonizing dilemma was the focus of the third novel in the "Old Balmain House" series. The previous book, "Lizzie," had chronicled the story of a young girl from Balmain and the heart-wrenching choices she had to make when she became pregnant at the tender age of 15.
Now, the family's saga continued into a third generation, as Catherine grappled with the weight of her decision and the profound impact it would have on her and her family's lives. The haunting question of whether she could bring herself to make such a devil's choice echoed through the pages, leaving readers to ponder the depths of a parent's love and the extraordinary measures they might be willing to take to save their child.
