商品簡介
In this poignant tale, a psychologist makes a critical decision with her heart after learning the true identity of a teenage patient, threatening the happiness of everyone she loves. When psychologist Rachel Marston learns the true identity of her troubled teenage patient, Heather Brody, she knows there is only one ethical thing to do. Despite the fact that fifteen-year-old Heather is responding well to treatment, Rachel must inform the adoptive parents that she can no longer treat their daughter, and then help them find another therapist. Unfortunately, sometimes doing the right thing is more difficult than one imagines. Unable to face the prospect of abandoning the girl, Rachel decides to keep her discovery a secret. As the relationship with her young patient deepens, Rachel's teenage lover, Larry Tobin, returns to her life, transformed from the sarcastic, bitter young man she once knew into a warm and gifted healer. Rachel's original deception is compounded as she reaches out for a second chance. When a crisis threatens all she holds dear, Rachel must face the consequences of attempting to build a future on a lie from the past.
