What would you give up for the people you love?  When Megan Taylor, a single mother and artist living on Cape Cod, receives the shocking news that her cancer has returned, she's faced with the most difficult decision she's ever had to make.  The love she has for her daughter, Olivia, and her closest friends will be stretched and frayed.  Megan's illness reawakens the torment of her best friends, Holly Townsend, whose long-held secrets and years of betrayal come back to haunt her.  How does one choose between a daughter and a life-long best friend?  Can the secret she has been keeping be revealed after years of lying without destroying everyone in its wake?  Meanwhile, fourteen-year-old Olivia's world is falling apart right before her eyes, and there's nothing she can do about it.  She finds herself acting in ways she cannot even begin to understand.  When her internal struggles turn to dangerous behavior, even the paranormal connection she shares with her mother might not be enough to save her -- her life will hang in the balance. -- back cover
