Andie Corcoran and her sister Jin couldn't be more different. Andie is an independent, talented, but broke music teacher. Jin is a beautiful ex-model, married to a successful but controlling businessman.

The sisters have never got on, but when their mother Cora, a 58-year-old widow, returns from a cruise with a gorgeous 30-something American, the sisters are brought together, united by their concern for their mother - and jealous for her happiness.

The novel proves that first impressions aren't always right.
