About this listen
She could give him everything except the one thing he wanted—A child.
A 2015 Readers’ Favorite Award Winner
The Price to Love is “an emotional story about a marriage on the brink of falling apart and how two people cope with changing relationships. Lorhainne Eckhart has written a fantastic novel about secrets, desires and the lengths we're willing to go in order to make our dreams come true." (Natasha Jackson, Readers' Favorite)
In The Price to Love, Candy knows that her husband wants a baby, but she can’t give him one. When Neil pays for a surrogate and moves her into their home, he tells her not to worry, but she suddenly feels as if she’s on the outside looking in.
Then, one day, she meets a little girl who steals her heart, a little girl with a damaged, scarred soul filled with the kind of despair and hopelessness that should never be in the innocent eyes of a child. But neither Neil nor his family understand her need to help.
As their marriage hangs on the brink of disaster, Candy is forced to make a choice between her husband and helping this child.
