Amy and her parents are desperate for answers. Sylvie has always looked out for them. Amy retraces her sister's movements, flying to the last place Sylvie was seen. But instead of simple answers, she discovers something much more valuable: the truth. Sylvie, the golden girl, kept painful secrets ... secrets that will reveal more about Amy's complicated family-- and herself-- than she ever could have imagined.
