When I was born, my mother died—and my family decided I was the murderer. Dad treated me like a curse. My brother, Andrew, spent twenty-two years telling me I was not his sister and that I deserved to pay with my life. Now I have terminal liver cancer, no desire to fight, and one final birthday left. While Andrew protects our cousin Vivian, the girl who took my place in our home and his heart, I quit my job, cut him off, and prepare to disappear. Only Charles, the friend who once saved me at my lowest, races back to give me the care and birthday I never had. Then my last celebration puts me in the same elevator as Andrew and Vivian. He still sees only the sister he hates. He has no idea how little time I have left—or that the cruel wish he made is about to come true. When I die as he demanded, his regret may destroy him.
