Acerca de esta escucha
All children's book illustrator Claire Turner ever wanted was to be a mother. After six years of trying to conceive, she and her husband, Josh, have finally accepted that she will never be pregnant with a child of their own.
Yet once they give up hope, the couple gets the miracle they've been waiting for. For the first few months of her pregnancy, Claire and Josh are living on cloud nine. But when she begins to experience debilitating headaches, blurred vision, and even fainting spells, the soon-to-be mother goes to the doctor and receives a terrifying diagnosis. Since any treatment could put their unborn baby's life at risk, the Turners must carefully weigh their limited options. And as her symptoms worsen, Claire will have to make an impossible decision: Save her own life, or save her child's?
USA Today and New York Times bestselling author Steena Holmes brings us an unforgettable story of one woman's courage and love.

Elle is a survivor. She’s managed to piece together a solid life from a childhood of broken memories and fairy tales her mom told her to explain away bad dreams.

Historia
When I found out I was pregnant, I couldn’t have been happier. Ever since my own father died, I’d felt utterly lost. But you changed everything. Finally, I had found my purpose: to be the best mother I could be. But I couldn’t–wouldn’t–tell anyone who your father was. I could never forget the look in his eyes that day. The betrayal written across his face. All the things we didn’t say and the secret that tore us apart.

England, 1940. Opening the box with trembling hands, she couldn’t believe it–a tiny baby lay inside. She gently lifted the newborn as it started to cry. Cradling the little one to her chest, she searched the darkness for any sign of whoever left it here. And as she rocked the child, something fluttered to the ground...a ration book.

The narration was excellent. Parts of the story just weren't plausible: Claire's best friend was her doctor? This wouldn't happen as it would be a conflict of interest. That same friend promising she was going to live, no way would a doctor promise that.
Claire's mother has info on Claire's son who was given up for adoption, (just in case and for whenever Claire was ready for it?) yet whenever Claire would try to bring up the subject, her mother refused to speak of it. This made NO sense to me and was totally contradictory.
I felt more attention should have been devoted to the ending as it was a let down and anticlimactic.
Pretty good story...

What made the experience of listening to Saving Abby the most enjoyable?
The fact her husband stood by her and her Dr. then she prepared a book for the baby after she felt she wouldn't be there for the baby herself.What other book might you compare Saving Abby to and why?
I've never read a book so enjoyable with so much detail.What about Angela Dawe’s performance did you like?
She went into detail about everything, the tumor, headaches, how to relax, how the town felt about her & her husband.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes it wasAny additional comments?
It brought tears to my eyes that Clare died in childbirth. But the relationship between the daughter and father is going to be so sweet.This book was outstanding, couldn't stop listening
