Twenty-five years ago, a young girl left home to walk to school. Her younger sister soon followed. But one of them arrived, and one of them didnt.

Her sisters disappearance has defined Willas life. Everyone thinks her sister is dead, but Willa knows she isnt. Because there are some things that only sisters know about each otherand some bonds only sisters can break.

Willa sees fragments of her sister everywhere the way that woman on the train turns her head, the gait of that woman in Paris. If theres the slightest resemblance, Willa drops everything, and everyone, and tries to see if it is her.

When Willa is invited to a dinner party thrown by her first love, she has no reason to expect it will be anything other than an ordinary evening. Both of them have moved on, ancient history. But nothing about Willas life has been ordinary since the day her sister disappeared, and thats not about to change tonight.

Sarah Easter Collins has written an extraordinary novel about memory, lost love, and long-buried secrets that sometimes see the light of day.
