A dusty, second-hand book that makes one girl's wish come true—even as it destroys her life.
Simone wants to be a normal teen with a normal family: Mom, Dad, and daughter. Instead, she has a mother who was dealt the cancer card and a father that took off to marry a younger woman. That meant every hour of Simone's life is about caring for her mother during her darkest hours. When Simone finds a cure, her world changes on a dime. Mom is pulled from the brink of death, and Simone is left holding the precious tome that gave the gift of life.
