Claire Dillon's mother had everything to live for. A husband, two children, a successful medical practice. Then, at thirty-three, she died in a tragic accident. And it was Claire's fault.

On her 33rd birthday she gives herself one last year to be more like her mother. But you should be careful what you wish for . . .
