Shine Social: Book Group – Patience by Victoria Scott
We try to chose books that can be read and listened to to suit everyone’s style of reading. The group is very informal and a chance to discuss our chosen books and others we may have read.

Our June book is Patience by Victoria Scott.

Here’s what Amazon say about Patience:

A new high-risk treatment gives you the chance to cure your child’s disease. Do you take it?
The Willows have been through a lot. Louise has devoted her life to caring for her disabled youngest daughter. Pete works abroad, almost never seeing his loved ones. And their eldest, Eliza, is burdened by all the secrets she’s trying to keep from her overloaded family.

Meanwhile, Patience observes the world while trapped in her own body. She laughs, she cries, she has opinions and knows what she wants. But those who love her most – and make every decision about her life – will never know.

Or will they? When the Willows are offered the opportunity for Patience to take part in a new gene therapy trial to cure her Rett syndrome, they face an impossible dilemma. Are the very real risks worth the chance of the reward, no matter how small?

Patience is available in paperback, Kindle and Audible so members are able to choose how they enjoy the story.

We will meet on the 4th June at 7pm to talk about the book.
