The 2:00 a.m. call is the first time Lexie Vidler has
heard her sister’s voice in years. Annie is a drug
addict, a thief, a liar—and in trouble, again. Lexie has
always bailed Annie out, given her money, a place to
sleep, sent her to every kind of rehab. But this time,
she’s not just strung out—she’s pregnant and in premature
labor. If she goes to the hospital, she’ll lose custody
of her baby—maybe even go to prison. But the alternative
is unthinkable.
As weeks unfold, Lexie finds herself caring for her
fragile newborn niece while her carefully ordered life is
collapsing around her. She’s in danger of losing her job,
and her fiancé only has so much patience for Annie’s
drama. In court-ordered rehab, Annie attempts to halt her
downward spiral by confronting long-buried secrets from
the sisters’ childhood, ghosts that Lexie doesn’t want to
face. But will the journey heal Annie, or lead her down a
darker path?
Both candid and compassionate, Before I Let You Go
explores a hotly divisive topic and asks how far the ties
of family love can be stretched before they finally
break.
