A Million Dreams
Autor Dani Atkinsen Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 feb 2020 – vârsta până la 12 ani
În universul literaturii contemporane care explorează dinamica familiei, tema maternității și a legăturilor de sânge ocupă un loc central, ridicând întrebări profunde despre ce anume ne definește ca părinți. Remarcăm în romanul A Million Dreams o abordare curajoasă a unei situații limită: ce se întâmplă atunci când centrul de fertilitate care te-a ajutat să devii mamă te anunță, după opt ani, că dintr-o eroare umană, copilul pe care l-ai crescut ar putea să nu fie al tău? Dani Atkins construiește o premisă sfâșietoare, ancorată în realitate, care forțează cititorul să navigheze între etică, lege și iubire necondiționată. Suntem de părere că forța acestui text rezidă în onestitatea cu care Izzy, protagonista, își înfruntă cele mai mari temeri în timp ce încearcă să protejeze universul fiului ei, Noah. Ca și Not My Daughter, lucrarea reușește să emoționeze fără a fi didactică, punând în balanță dorința egoistă de a păstra ceea ce iubești și altruismul necesar pentru binele superior al copilului. Dani Atkins își confirmă încă o dată statutul de „regină a emoțiilor”, păstrând linia sensibilă din The Memory of Us sau A Sky Full of Stars, unde explorează limitele sacrificiului personal. Ritmul este susținut de tensiunea unei bătălii juridice iminente, dar și de delicatețea momentelor domestice care fac pierderea cu atât mai greu de suportat. Este o lectură care nu oferă răspunsuri ușoare, ci invită la o reflecție profundă asupra compasiunii și a modului în care ne definim familia dincolo de genetică.

Descriere scurtă
The lump in my throat dissolves into tears. "They're going to take Noah away, Pete."
"No judge will ever rule that a child should be taken away from his parents." My husband's voice is defiant.
"Even if it turns out we're not his parents?"
Izzy's eight-year-old son Noah is her whole life. With his long eyelashes, mischievous grin and boundless energy, he's got her husband Pete's sunny outlook and Izzy's curious mind. When they receive a surprise phone call from the fertility center that helped them have Noah, it's surely nothing to worry about.
But what they learn from that call sends their dreams for their son crashing down around them. Eight years ago, someone made a terrible mistake at the center, and there's a possibility that precious Noah isn't actually their child.
Izzy and Pete know that they will fight to keep their beautiful boy at any cost... but if Noah's parents are out there somewhere, is it right to keep them from their son? When a shocking diagnosis brings things to a head, Izzy must decide what's right for Noah, even if it means sacrificing the person she loves most in the world...
From a million-copy bestselling author comes a heart-wrenching family dilemma inspired by a true story. If you love Jodi Picoult, Diane Chamberlain and Kerry Fisher, you won't be able to put this book down.
