Title: Before I Let You Go
Author: Kelly Rimmer
Published: April 2018, Graydon House
Format: Paperback, 384 pages
Summary:
The 2:00 a.m. call is
the first time Lexie Vidler has heard her sister’s voice in years. Annie
is a drug addict, a thief, a liar—and in trouble, again. Lexie has
always bailed Annie out, given her money, a place to sleep, sent her to
every kind of rehab. But this time, she’s not just strung out—she’s
pregnant and in premature labor. If she goes to the hospital, she’ll
lose custody of her baby—maybe even go to prison. But the alternative is
unthinkable.
As weeks unfold, Lexie finds herself caring for her
fragile newborn niece while her carefully ordered life is collapsing
around her. She’s in danger of losing her job, and her fiancé only has
so much patience for Annie’s drama. In court-ordered rehab, Annie
attempts to halt her downward spiral by confronting long-buried secrets
from the sisters’ childhood, ghosts that Lexie doesn’t want to face. But
will the journey heal Annie, or lead her down a darker path?
Both
candid and compassionate, Before I Let You Go explores a hotly divisive
topic and asks how far the ties of family love can be stretched before
they finally break.
