From the back cover

Sarah's husband, Ethan, is a celebrated doctor at Seattle Central Hospital, a man whose hands are for saving lives. Yet when their son, Tyler, falls ill, Ethan dismisses the boy's worsening symptoms as a common cold, his attention fixed on a phone call from his first love, Isabella, who has just returned to Seattle.

As Tyler's fever spikes and his lips turn blue, Sarah calls Ethan ten times, but he claims he is in a critical surgery and hangs up. She rushes their son to the hospital alone, only to learn from Dr. Williams that Ethan took leave hours earlier. A photo Isabella posts shows Ethan celebrating her daughter Emma's birthday, spinning the girl in his arms while Tyler fights for breath.

By the time Sarah reaches the emergency room, it is too late. Tyler is gone, and Ethan remains unaware, planning a family outing and making soup for another man's child. Clutching her son's photo, Sarah buys a one-way ticket out of Seattle.
