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 movie events.
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 threw glamorous
parties in their historic 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?
