Summary
An Amazon Charts, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestseller.

From the author of The Art of Inheriting Secrets comes an emotional new tale of two sisters, an ocean of lies, and a search for the truth.

Her sister has been dead for fifteen years when she sees her on the TV news…

Josie Bianci was killed years ago on a train during a terrorist attack. Gone forever. It’s what her sister, Kit, an ER doctor in Santa Cruz, has always believed. Yet all it takes is a few heart-wrenching seconds to upend Kit’s world. Live coverage of a club fire in Auckland has captured the image of a woman stumbling through the smoke and debris. Her resemblance to Josie is unbelievable. And unmistakable. With it comes a flood of emotions—grief, loss, and anger—that Kit finally has a chance to put to rest: by finding the sister who’s been living a lie.

After arriving in New Zealand, Kit begins her journey with the memories of the past: of days spent on the beach with Josie. Of a lost teenage boy who’d become part of their family. And of a trauma that has haunted Kit and Josie their entire lives.

Now, if two sisters are to reunite, it can only be by unearthing long-buried secrets and facing a devastating truth that has kept them apart far too long. To regain their relationship, they may have to lose everything.

Am I the only one that is struggling with this audiobook because one of the narrators who is reading for Josie/Mari can't pronounce words with the letter "I" in it. The letter "i" is not pronounced as the letter "u". Just awful and hard to listen to, since the narrator clearly can't speak an authentic American accent. I feel bad for the author of the book to have such a hard to listen audiobook. :(

Enjoyed the overall story. Felt the characters could have had more back ground history . The author could have talked more about Veronica Parker, the Safire House and its connection to Josie.

The story and writing was very engaging and the narrator’s were great. Just a technical mention that broke the flow of the story for me. This version was copied from CD’s and the “end of disc x” “start of disc x” was an unwelcome interuption.

This book had potential, but there were too many characters without enough story for me to truly enjoy it.
