Sharp Turns

After teaching a summer session abroad in London, Charlie Ames is looking forward to having some downtime, flying back to California, and seeing her boyfriend, Sam. Before she leaves London, shes notified that her cousin and her cousin’s husband have died in a plane crash and that their will names Charlie as legal guardian of their sixteen-year-old daughter, Elizabeth. It is an impossible request. Theres no room in Charlies well-ordered life for a grieving teenager.

Yet a month later, Elizabeth is living in Charlies guest room, adjusting to a relative shed never met and a new life. And Charlies life is on a slippery slope that could bring her face-to-face with a past shes successfully hidden from Sam and Elizabeth.
