Synopsis:

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Twilight Whispers and “a first-rate storyteller” (The Boston Globe) comes a masterful family portrait, filled with thought-provoking insights into how letting go can be the hardest thing to do—and the greatest expression of love.

Molly and Robin Snow are sisters in the prime of life. So when Molly receives the news that Robin has suffered a massive heart attack, the news couldn't be more shocking. At the hospital, the Snow family receives a grim prognosis: Robin may never regain consciousness. Feelings of guilt and jealousy flare up as Robin's family struggles to cope. It's up to Molly to make the tough decisions, and she soon makes discoveries that shatter some of her most cherished beliefs about the sister she thought she knew.
