Publisher's Summary

Molly and Robin Snow are sisters, and like all sisters they share a deep bond that sustains them through good times and bad. Their careers are flourishing - Molly is a horticulturist and Robin is a world-class runner - and they are in the prime of their lives. So when Molly receives the news that Robin has suffered a massive heart attack, she couldn't be more shocked. At the hospital, the Snow family receives a grim prognosis: Robin may never regain consciousness.

As Robin's parents and siblings struggle to cope, the complex nature of their relationship is put to the ultimate test. Molly has always lived in Robin's shadow, and her feelings for her have run the gamut, from love to resentment and back. The last time they spoke, they argued. But now there is so much more at stake. Molly's parents fold under the devastating circumstances, and her brother retreats into the cool reserve that is shattering his own family.

It's up to Molly to make the tough decisions, and she soon makes discoveries that destroy some of her most cherished beliefs about the sister she thought she knew.

Rather sad subject

I love Barbara Delinsky’s books, and this was as well written as all her books, but I just found the subject so sad and dreary. I realized after a while that the entire book would take place while Robin was on life support and wouldn’t end until the family worked through the process of letting her go and she died.
Not what I was looking for right now, but that certainly wasn’t the fault of the author. Characters are beautifully drawn, and we watch them all work through the process in their own way.
Narration is excellent.
