Story

The story

Caroline Fisher has spent her life watching her mother lavish attention on her younger sister, Hailey, while every promise made to Caroline dissolves into nothing. Tutoring fees vanish; tuition money never arrives; praise always finds its way to Hailey instead. When Caroline earns a place at Vanford College, her mother locks her indoors and throws a lavish party for Hailey, claiming the acceptance as her younger daughter's achievement.

Years later, a medical report changes everything. The diagnosis is Stage 2 cervical cancer, and Caroline's mother seizes the moment to announce she will fight the illness at Caroline's side. Yet behind the stairwell door, Caroline overhears the truth: her mother intends to abandon her, hand Caroline's boyfriend Ashton Lloyd and her hard-won job to Hailey, and has already begun dismantling the life Caroline built.

Faced with a surgery consent form and a family that sees her as disposable, Caroline must decide what she owes to the people who never chose her.

Opening excerpt

When my elementary school teacher said I had potential for advanced math competitions, she beamed with pride. "Caroline Fisher, you're amazing! Whatever tutoring you need, just say the word. I work hard so you can spend however you like!"

However, she could not even cough up the 50-dollar class fee. Instead, she turned around and enrolled my two-year-old sister, Hailey Fisher, in premium preschool enrichment classes. I ended up eating plain meals every day, scraping together the class fee from my lunch money.

These are the opening lines of chapter 1. Keep reading →
