I hope you enjoyed returning to the Hawkins family as much as I did. After writing A Hero to Keep, I knew Greg’s siblings had to have stories of their own, and I’m pleased to share Finn’s with you.
Stories that involve assisted reproduction fascinate me. Partly because I’ve experienced fertility issues, but I think what fascinates me the most is the emotional aspect. When people talk about assisted reproduction, you hear a lot about science and morality. But you don’t hear a lot about the emotions that come into play.
And there are plenty of emotions involved—love, fear, hope, sorrow, joy....
I’ve wanted to tell a savior sibling story for years, ever since I heard the story about parents who, before preimplantation genetic screening could guarantee a match, rolled the dice and had another child to save their daughter from leukemia—and succeeded.
Hayden Hawkins is next in line, so keep an eye out for his story.
