From the critically acclaimed authors of Scrambled Eggs at Midnight and Dream Factory comes a poignant story of two sisters.

Chloe and Shana want the same thing - for everything to go back to normal, the way it was before their mom went to the hospital. But both sisters know that things can never be the same. While Chloe wants their mom to come home so they can be a family again, Shana never wants to see their mother. And while Shana is trying to escape her problems by hiding under a new persona, Chloe is left trying to be the responsible one. Then things go from bad to worse, and the sisters are forced to band together and redefine what it means to be a family.

"Teens will relate both to Chloe's desire to ameliorate and to Shana's icy urge to distance herself from pain. Co-authors Barkley and Hepler offer a seamless, striking story." - Kirkus Reviews, starred review
