Publisher's Synopsis
A career woman haunted by her father's derision. A hurting child who misses his parents. A choice that can heal them both.
Attorney Audrey Beach is about to overcome the memory of her father's contempt, once and for all. Making partner is right around the corner-plus, she has an interview with California's biggest personal injury outfit. Meanwhile, she anticipates holding the arrogant Dr. Taylor accountable for the mistake that almost killed a friend's daughter.
But when her brother goes to prison and she becomes guardian of his children, the validation she craves may elude her. Kids, it turns out, are a lot of work.
She hires a nanny to keep her career on life-support. It almost works-until the nanny calls during Dr. Taylor's deposition. Audrey's nephew won't get up for school. Recognizing the boy's symptoms from Dr. Taylor's comments, Audrey rushes her nephew to the hospital. There, his devastating diagnosis forces her to choose between career-fueled validation and love.
