An Emotional Journey
Californian Dr. Kit Bianci believes her sister Josie Bianci is dead, killed in a terrorist attack. Josie survived the attack but reinvented herself as Mari Edwards in New Zealand. Kit and her mother see Mari on television and their hope of Josie’s survival is revived.
Kit travels to Auckland to see if she can find her sister. There, she meets musician Javier Velez. He assists her in her search and Kit recalls her troubled childhood. Soon, they become romantically involved. Mari also recalls their childhood, which was more difficult for her than Kit. But more than anything, Mari loves her new family and doesn’t want it to be put in jeopardy.
When they finally do meet, the emotional fallout is almost too much for them to handle. Secrets are revealed, as they generally are in situations like these. I loved the way the point of view switched between the sisters, and the rich emotions displayed this writer’s amazing ability to tell a story. Love wins in the end, and that’s exactly how it should be.
