Molly and Robin Snow are sisters, and like all sisters
they share a deep bond that sustains them through good
times and bad. Their careers are flourishing—Molly is a
horticulturist and Robin is a world-class runner—and they
are in the prime of their lives. So when Molly receives
the news that Robin has suffered a massive heart attack,
she couldn’t be more shocked. At the hospital, the Snow
family receives a grim prognosis: Robin may never regain
consciousness.
As Robin’s parents and siblings
struggle to cope, the complex nature of their relationship
is put to the ultimate test. Molly has always lived in
Robin’s shadow and her feelings for her have run the
gamut, from love to resentment and back. The last time
they spoke, they argued. But now there is so much more at
stake. Molly’s parents fold under the devastating
circumstances, and her brother retreats into the cool
reserve that is shattering his own family. It’s up to
Molly to make the tough decisions, and she soon makes
discoveries that destroy some of her most cherished
beliefs about the sister she thought she knew.
Once again New York Times bestselling
author Barbara Delinsky brings us a masterful family
portrait, filled with thought-provoking ideas about the
nature of life itself, how emotions affect the decisions
we make, and how letting go can be the hardest thing to do
and the greatest expression of love all at the same
time.
I have a blog and I've been invited many times to start Twittering. After reading this, I suppose I should take that advice to heart. (LuAnn Morgan 11:44am April 17, 2009)
I got pulled into Facebook but I'm still not sure what Twitter is :>) (Karin Tillotson 12:04pm April 17, 2009)
Wow - Barbara Delinsky! I have read every book you have ever written, beginning with the Candlelight Ectasy under Bonnie Drake, and the Silhouettes as Billie Douglass (weren't those great stories??). Your single title books have touched my life (SHADES OF GRACE) and my heart. It takes a powerful business woman to be a success in all you do -- keep up the good, no great work!
And, thank you for all the pleasure you have given me with your wonderful stories. (Betty Cox 12:33pm April 17, 2009)
Oh I am so glad you have a new book coming out. Love your books. My mom and friend also keep waiting for me to finish any new book of yours .
Have a wonderful summer. mary branham (Mary Branham 12:34pm April 17, 2009)
How exciting (& exhausting) your life must be! I'm on MySpace & Facebook, but I haven't figured out what a Twitter is yet!! (Kelli Jo Calvert 12:39pm April 17, 2009)
Yep, artists/writers are also business people. (Shannon Scott 1:51pm April 17, 2009)
I have to unearth the voice-activated tape recorder, because it's safer than writing longhand at traffic lights when driving. Writers are a special breed, twirling many plates to get the word out for their newest books and the ones still in the shadows. (Alyson Widen 3:01pm April 17, 2009)
I am glad that authors can now communicate easily with their readers. I love your books (Annetta Stolpmann 4:29pm April 17, 2009)
I love your books. They are so insightful. I have always admired someone who can paint a picture with words, which you have done for me in your books. Now I realize what goes on behind the scenes to promote a book. All I can say is "Wow". (Robin McKay 8:25pm April 17, 2009)
People forget that writers must do much more that just write their books. They must "sell" it to their publisher, deal with cover issues, editors, and then the PR to reach the buying public. Your books are very good. You are a standing order at our library, usually with a waiting list started when the patrons know a new one is coming. Keep up the good work. We appreciate your communicating with "your public". (Patricia Barraclough 10:16pm April 17, 2009)
I love your books:) (Bridget Hopper 12:22pm April 18, 2009)

I enjoy all your series, and look forward to your future novels (Shirley Brewer 11:34am April 20, 2009)
Barbara, I have enjoyed your books immensely and have recommended them to others to read. You never seem to get my neck of the woods (Seattle) but one my dreams is to meet you in person and tell you face to face how much I enjoy your work. (Rosie Stroy 8:58pm April 22, 2009)
It sounds like you have to eat, sleep and breathe any new book you have written and any you are working on. It must be exciting and exhausting at the same time. (Brenda Rupp 7:29pm November 10, 2009)
