As children, Lexie and Annie were incredibly close. Bonded by the death of their beloved father, they weathered the storms of life together. When Lexie leaves home to follow her dream, Annie is forced to turn to her leather-bound journal as the only place she can confide her deepest secrets and fears. As adults, sisters Lexie and Annie could not be more different. Lexie is a successful doctor and happily engaged. Annie is an addict-- a thief, a liar and unable to remain clean. When Annie's newborn baby is in danger of being placed in foster care, Annie picks up the phone to beg her sister for help. Will Lexie agree to take in her young niece? And how will Annie survive, losing the only thing in her life worth living for?

A beautifully poignant story about sisters Lexie and Annie, the trials of their upbringing, drug addiction and a baby.
Read this in one evening.
I really enjoy Kelly Rimmer's books. This is the 3rd one I have read. I borrowed this book using the Libby app and when the book version was due back, I went ahead and finished with the audio version. I liked this book, and the only reason I did not give it 4 stars is because the ending of story was ruined for me when I went to the index to see how many chapters were left. To prevent this from happening to someone else, let me tell you that instead of the usual numbers throughout the book, at the end there are 2 actual titles that tell a very big spoiler of part of the story's ending. There are 41 numbered chapters and 2 with titles. Until that point, I was really enjoying this book a lot. I would recommend it to those who have a loved one who struggles with chemical addiction or is dealing with this themselves. Keep the tissue nearby as you read this.
