Von der hinteren Coverseite

In this propulsive debut thriller, two women with deep secrets are thrown together by an unexpected meeting that plunges both their lives into chaos. But it’s a sick little girl whose fate hangs in the balance.

Motherhood is tough. But, then, so is daughterhood. When we first meet Claire, she’s ducking calls from her mother, a world-class psychic, because she doesn’t want her parents to discover the truth. Claire works in the family business; she calls herself a psychic but she really doesn’t have “the gift”—and hasne’t for a long time. She’s a fraud.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the country, Rena, a young mother, has family issues of her own. She’s divorced and her four-year-old daughter, Stephanie, suffers from mysterious seemingly incurable stomach problems. No matter how many specialists Rena drags her to, no matter how many mommy-blog posts she makes, the child only gets sicker.

When Claire and Rena meet by chance on an airplane, their carefully constructed lives begin to explode. Can these two very different women help each other? And, most important, can they help Stephanie—before it’s too late?
