For sixteen years, Angelica has lived with a guilt she never deserved — her mother died giving birth to her. Neglected by her father, Martin, and despised by her brother, Christopher, she holds on to the only warmth he ever showed her. But when their cousin Madison moves in, even Christopher turns on her, wishing she were the one who had died. And in a way, he gets his wish when Angelica is diagnosed with cancer. But after her death, it’s Christopher’s world that begins to fall apart.
