Some bonds can't be broken. Ten years after the tragic
disappearance of her twin sister Leah, sixteen-year-old Mia Klein
still struggles to exist within a family that has never fully
recovered. Deep in the dark recesses of her mind lies an
overwhelming shadow, taunting Mia with mind-splitting headaches
that she tries to hide in an effort to appear okay. Leah Klein's
life as she knew it ended the day she was taken, thrust into a
world of abuse and fear by a disturbed captor - 'Mother,' as she
insists on being called. Ten years later, any recollections of her
former life are nothing more than fleeting memories, except for
those about her twin sister, Mia. As Leah tries to gain the courage
to escape, Mia's headaches grow worse. Soon, both sisters will
discover that their fates are linked in ways they never realised.
