Carolyn Winters is still haunted by the disappearance of her sister Ellie, fifteen years ago. When she sees a magazine photo of a young woman who she thinks might possibly be her sister, she throws off the broken remnants of her life to go in search of her. Perhaps in finding Ellie, Carolyn will find herself.

This suspenseful story quietly questions how we form our own identities and how family defines us.
