What if your most basic beliefs about your life were suddenly revealed to be a lie?
As
the fact checker for a popular magazine, Gabby DiMarco believes in
absolute, verifiable Truths—until they throw the facts of her own life
into question. The genealogy test she took as research for an article
has yielded a baffling result: Gabby has a sister—one who’s been
desperately trying to find her. Except, as Gabby’s beloved parents would
confirm if they were still alive, that’s impossible.
Isabella
Ruiz can still picture the face of her baby sister, who disappeared from
the streets of San Juan twenty-five years ago. Isabella, an artist, has
fought hard for the stable home and loving marriage she has today—yet
the longing to find Marianna has never left. At last, she’s found a
match, and Gabby has agreed to come to Puerto Rico.
But Gabby, as
defensive and cautious as Isabella is impulsive, offers no happy
reunion. She insists there’s been a mistake. And Isabella realizes that
even if this woman is her sister, she may not want to be.
With
nothing—or perhaps so much—in common, Gabby and Isabella set out to find
the truth, though it means risking everything they’ve known for an
uncertain future—and a past that harbors yet more surprises . . .
