Synopsis:
Story of 2 sisters, both driven, both irresistably attractive (okay, hot). The younger, after being accepted to one of the top med schools in the country, finds out she's pregnant. The other, a driven cold business woman, who's about to be promoted to senior management, also finds out she is pregnant. What to do, what to do.9 month story glimpsing their lives. Throw in a suicidal mother, a dirty family secret, a story of love, jealousy, unforgiveness, forgiveness, bitterness, deception, tragedy, fighting against all odds for love, etc etc and all that soppy jazz, and you have a heart-wrenching (yes, heart-wrenching, tissues pls.), gripping (yes, very gripping) love story slash emotional journey slash glimpse into how harsh and vulnerable and shockingly deceptive and ..well, you know..how the human heart can be.
Excerpt:
Claire stood statue still, her face expressionless for a moment. Kathy glanced down at the paper in Claire's left hand, and saw the Kensington's Med School logo on it, and shrieked again, holding out her arms to Claire. 'My baby, you've been accepted! I knew it!' Claire briskly held out her other hand, holding a slightly smaller sheet of paper, with a Lanson Labs stamp on the top. Kathy searched Claire's face for some kind of explanation or hint, but found none, and promptly took the sheet. The words 'PREGNANCY HCG - POSITIVE' jumped out at her. Claire promptly burst into tears.
