Two sisters face love, rivalry, and a shocking disappearance amidst the
luxury of Palm Springs from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of
the Flowers in the Attic series and Landry series--now popular Lifetime
movies.Like everyone else in Palm Springs, Gish idolizes her smart,
beautiful, kind older sister. Even their parents compare Gish
unfavorably to Gloria--threatening to send her to boarding school once
the more perfect sister leaves for college. But Gloria has an unwavering
love for Gish, even if that connection belies a weariness with her own
accomplishments. Wanting a better life for her overlooked sibling,
Gloria teaches Gish how to talk to boys, embrace her femininity, and
finally develop a life of her own. And just as life is looking up for
Gish, Gloria meets a handsome, mysterious boy. Obsessed with the
stranger, Gloria closes off her life to her sister--then disappears
without a trace. A police search yields nothing. Their father's manic
investigation proves fruitless. And their already starstruck mother
becomes increasingly lost in daydreams of the celebrities who partied in
their house decades ago when the town was a Hollywood getaway.
Untethered from the weight of her sister's presence--but also missing
her sister's love--what will Gish do with this new terrible freedom,
with this sense she could become anything?
