From the back cover

Sarah has spent eighteen years raising her daughter Emily alone, working double shifts at a diner and cleaning houses on weekends after walking away from a brutal marriage with nothing but the clothes on her back. When Emily earns a full ride to Berkeley, Sarah believes the sacrifices were finally worth it—until Emily accuses her of being selfish, of soaking up praise that should belong to her father, Mark.

Emily knows what Mark did: how his mother drugged Sarah and tried to give the baby away, how he beat them both, how he abandoned Emily because she wasn't a boy. Yet she still longs for his approval, and when Mark appears at the door with his new wife Jessica, performing the role of a devoted father, Emily takes his side. She shoves Sarah to the floor, and Mark kicks her in the ribs, calling her unfit to be a mother.

Now Sarah must face the daughter she gave everything for—and the man she will never forgive.

Inside the book Opening excerpt

"I mean," she continued, "I got into this amazing school, and all our friends and family are congratulating *you*, showering *you* with praise. But what about Dad? He gets nothing out of this."

The air went out of my lungs. My heart felt like it had dropped into a block of ice.
