Etat : Muy bueno. : En esta conmovedora novela, Karin Cook nos presenta una historia sobre chicas y sus madres, sobre la rivalidad entre hermanas y el parentesco, sobre la misteriosa atracción entre el amor y el antagonismo que reside en el corazón de cada familia. El año en que Tilden cumple doce años, su madre, Frances, se enamora y traslada a la familia al norte. Pronto, la observadora y sabia Tilden y su hermana menor rebelde, Elizabeth, se encuentran navegando por un nuevo hogar en medio del terreno incómodo y seductor de la adolescencia. Pero cuando Frances descubre repentinamente un bulto en su seno, sus hijas deben enfrentar la imprevisibilidad de su enfermedad. Con angustia y humor, estos personajes exponen un mundo de secretos y aprenden a sobrevivir frente a las contradicciones de la vida.
