Product Description

It begins with a mystery. Sylvie, the beautiful, brilliant, successful older daughter of the Lee family, flies to the Netherlands for one final visit with her dying grandmother
- & then vanishes.

Amy, the sheltered baby of the Lee family, is too young to remember a time when her parents were newly immigrated & too poor to keep Sylvie. Seven years older, Sylvie was raised by a distant relative in a faraway, foreign place, & didn't rejoin her family in America until age nine. Timid & shy, Amy has always looked up to her sister, the fierce & fearless protector who showered her with unconditional love.

But what happened to Sylvie? Amy & her parents are distraught & desperate for answers. Sylvie has always looked out for them. Now, it's Amy's turn to help. Terrified yet determined, 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
- & herself
- than she ever could have imagined.
