Riveting Race against the Clock to Save a Young Woman's
Life
A storm the size of Texas brews when Gloria Powell and Kai Chang
meet in a Dallas hotel. They have come to discuss the future of
Lily, the daughter Gloria adopted from China and the sister Kai
hopes to reclaim. Kai is a doctor who had to give up her little
sister during the Cultural Revolution and has since discovered that
an inherited genetic defect may be waiting to fatally strike
Lily.
Gloria's relationship with her daughter is tattered and strained,
and the arrival of Kai, despite the woman's apparent good
intentions, makes Gloria fearful. Gloria longs to restore her
relationship with Lily, but in the wake of this potentially
devastating diagnosis, is Kai an answer to prayer...or will her
arrival force Gloria to sacrifice more than she ever imagined?
