TWO SISTERS Kate is bound for college and an M.D.—if her family will let her go. Mary wants only to stay home and paint. When their loving but repressive father dies, they must figure out how to support themselves and their mother, and how to get along in all their uneasy sisterhood. THREE MEN Then three young men sway their lives: Kate’s boyfriend, Simon, asks her to marry him, offering the girls some much-needed stability. Mary is drawn to Marcos, though she fears his violent past. And Andy tempts Kate with more than romance, recognizing her ambition because it matches his own. ONE DECISION Kate and Mary each find new possibilities and darkness in their sudden freedom. But it’s their mother’s life that might divide them for good—the question of if she lives, and what’s worth living for.
