Kara Edwards’s life has been one struggle after another. Abandoned by her father at the age of six and disowned by her older sister, she’s used to doing things alone. So, when her mother, the only loving parent she has ever known, is diagnosed with cancer, she rushes to her side, no questions asked.
For two years, twenty-one-year-old Kara has struggled to keep her mother alive, working herself to the bone at a minimum-wage job and sinking deep into debt to pay for expensive treatments. Unfortunately, when the final procedure does not go according to plan, she’s run out of options. Her world teeters on the brink of collapse as she faces the reality that her mother is out of time. That is until her mother’s doctor offers Kara one more option, an expensive and illegal experimental drug called Novemion.
To make matters worse, her absent father is suddenly back in town, and he’s brought an unbelievable family secret with him, one that presents Kara with the strangest of opportunities. If his stories are true, she might be able to save her mother’s life, but it would put the whole of humanity at risk, costing thousands of lives.
Once again, Kara is faced with an impossible choice, and each comes with a steep price. She can place her hope in the untested experimental treatment, give into the temptation of the family secret and risk millions of lives, or allow the mother she idolizes to die.
What will she choose, and can she live with the consequences?”
