β¦ Synopsis
"The people you love are taken from you. Thatβs what Maddie DiMarco learned when she survived the plane crash that killed her parents. Fifteen years later, the scars remain. And the ones no can see are hardest to heal. Since the accident, Maddieβs avoided the unpredictable and uncaring outside world, including any relationships - except for the one with her devoted older sister, Kat, who has always been there for her. When Maddie meets handsome pilot Jack Moroni, she finally begins to let down her guard. But just as quickly, her hope and trust are once again shattered when a plane crash forces her to revisit her traumatic past. Maddie turns to her sister for comfort and guidance, only to realize that Kat is missing. But Kat hasnβt vanished without a trace. An investigative journalist, sheβs left behind a subtle trail of clues leading to the mysterious, myth-shrouded YucatΓ‘n coast of Mexico. To follow it, Maddie must confront her deepest fears - of flying, of intimacy, and of loss. She hopes that in doing so, she will find her sister. And if sheβs lucky, she may also find herself along the way."--Publisher description.
