From bestselling author V.C. Andrews comes a story of a young woman in
search of her older sister--and the dark truth that threatens to tear
her family apart.
Emmie Wilcox was only six when her older sister, Roxy, was thrown out of
their New York City apartment. Their stern father's military-style rules
left no room for rebellion, and Roxy was as defiant as Emmie--now an
outstanding student at a private school--is compliant: a perfect
daughter, un fille parfaite, as her Parisian-born mother lovingly
calls her. Two sisters, total opposites--yet Emmie is secretly obsessed
with the mystery surrounding Roxy: What had she done? Where is she now?
And is there a hidden side to Emmie that resembles Roxy's spiteful
nature? Knowing only that Roxy is a highly paid escort to the city's
wealthiest men, Emmie goes behind her father's back to track down the
sister she fears, despises, and inexplicably clings to...and whose
influence might run deeper than Emmie ever imagined.
