To the world it seems obvious: Kaylene Adams killed her daughter and then herself. Attorney Emilie Wesley knows a different story: Kaylene would never hurt anyone and was looking for a way out of a controlling, abusive relationship.

Reid Billings thought he knew his sister-right up until he learned how she died. Then he discovers a letter from Kaylene begging him to fight for custody of her daughters if anything should happen to her.

Thrown together in the race to save Kaylene’s surviving daughter, Emilie and Reid pursue the constantly evasive truth. If they can hang on to hope together, can they save a young girl-and find a future for themselves in the process?
