Rachel Dawes has known
about Jacob from the very beginning. Known that she’d had a twin brother who
didn’t live long enough to meet her parents. Known that his absence defined her
family in some way. That it defined her in some way. She just never realized
how much her brother’s death would change her life.
An anxious underachiever,
Rachel’s father’s death catapults her violently from the
safety of childhood into a pseudo-adulthood she is unprepared for. While other
girls her age dream of rock stars and prom dates, Rachel stock piles batteries
and water bottles, bracing herself for the next inevitable catastrophe in her
uncertain life. By the age of 18, Rachel is scared and stuck. Scared of
heights, of cars, of disasters harming the people she loves. Stuck between looking
back and moving forward, stuck in a life that is getting smaller by the minute.
And the secret Rachel has kept so well – the secret she barely acknowledges she
is keeping – has begun to haunt her. Convinced she is losing her mind, Rachel
finally works up the courage to confess to a therapist that she believes
someone has been stalking her since birth – a man who tends to show up when she
needs him the most. A man she is already half in love with. A man she believes
is her guardian angel.
