Her life was already a mess-the child stuck in the middle of divorced parents, biting the heartache of a failed relationship, never quite landing on her feet as an artist. Nothing ever worked out. And, as the world was her cruelest mistress, it soon took her mother. Forced to move in with her quiet father in Manhattan, she tried to step away from the past. Meet new people. But the past enjoyed haunting her. The further she strayed, the more she got tangled in a web of love and secrecy. Until she found a letter her mother had left behind, cryptic as it was. To settle a final deal, she would have to become someone new-someone she had never met and paint her own path to freedom.
