She's trained to save fragile lives. But how far will she go to protect just one?
Twenty-six-year-old NICU nurse Annabelle Kaplan is devoted to the preterm infants in her care-even as her own life quietly unravels. Haunted by the stillbirth of her daughter and drowning in secret debt from compulsive shopping, Annabelle clings to her work as a lifeline.
When a tragic accident leaves her beloved patient, Baby Olivia, orphaned, Annabelle's world tilts again. Olivia is placed in the custody of her only relative-an aunt who seems more interested in money than motherhood. But when Annabelle witnesses the woman leaving Olivia alone in a car outside a bar, instinct overrides judgment. In a single, reckless moment, Annabelle drives away with the baby.
What begins as a few hours of comfort spirals into a desperate, dangerous attempt to keep Olivia safe. As the days pass, Annabelle's choices threaten her marriage, her career, and her freedom. And when a chilling ultimatum appears-return the baby or Annabelle's husband, Peter, will suffer-Annabelle must make an unthinkable decision.
A moving portrait of grief, resilience, and redemption, The Baby Nurse
