About

A vow of sisterhood between foster children is put to the test many years later in this heartfelt novel of chosen family and painful secrets.



As children in foster care, Cecilia and Robin vowed to be the sisters they never had. While Cecilia went on to become a major pop star, Robin set aside her photojournalism career to have a family. But when she's nearly killed in an accident, Cecilia drops everything to be with her.



When Cecilia asks Robin to be the photographer for a documentary on foster care, Robin agrees, even though her husband Kris will be forced to take charge of the household while she's away. She gambles that Kris will finally prove that their family-and marriage-are a priority in his life.



Cecilia herself needs more than time with her sister. After a lifetime of lies, she hopes this documentary will tell the real story of their childhood. As traumatic memories return, the sisterhood they forged will help Cecilia and Robin move forward as the women they were always meant to be.
