Paisley hasn’t spoken to her mother in seven years.
Instead, she’s spent that time graduating from nursing school and securing her dream job in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at one of the best hospitals in Chicago. With her life on track, Paisley’s ready for next steps: applying to nurse practitioner school and pursuing Oliver, her hot new crush…regardless of how the past nags her.
Paisley loved her incessantly positive older sister. Born with cystic fibrosis and a mother whose mantra was “some lives are long and others are short,” Paisley knew Pen had no reason at all to enjoy life. And when the end of Pen’s 18 years was finally celebrated, relief and guilt left 16-year-old Paisley feeling more alone than ever. As a single child with a distant mother, Paisley became an expert at pushing away the past, especially memories of her sister.
So when a phone call interrupts her now perfect life, Paisley is forced to trudge back into her childhood to uncover the truth about her mother and the real reason Pen died. But what she learns is that she had no idea how far she was willing to go to find the truth.
