From the back cover

Cindy Sainsbury has returned to the wealthy family that lost her sixteen years ago, but she finds no welcome. Her parents, Dale and Paula, her brother Craig, and Eden, the adopted sister who took her place, demand to know who fathered her pregnancy and insist she end it. Cindy refuses, guarding the life inside her.

When her doctor, Tyree Cameron, calls her in, the news is worse than any family quarrel: a grade four brain tumor, and the child cannot be saved. Alone in the hospital corridor, Cindy watches Craig and her parents rush past to tend to Eden, who clutches her abdomen and cries out in pain.

Cindy holds the diagnosis and the old photograph of Lila Hemsworth, the adoptive mother who raised her for sixteen years and was the last light in her life. The family that should have saved her long ago now hurries to save someone else, and she must face what remains of her time alone.
