Description: "It took Gabrielle ten seconds to skid on black ice. Ten seconds to wreck her car and her back. Ten seconds to ruin her Olympic dreams. Ten seconds to kill her younger sister. Eight months later, Gabrielle's haunted by guilt, dependent on drugs to numb her pain and alcohol to numb her brain. Then Erik Tennyson crashes into her. Soon Gabrielle's immersed in the ghostly legend surrounding the Tennyson orchard, convinced that her sister is linked to its mysterious origins. If she can just discover the truth, maybe she can put her sister's spirit to rest. But as Gabrielle grows closer to Erik, her world skids out of control once more. Instead of appeasing the dead, she starts to do the thing she fears most: she remembers how to live." -- Page [4] of cover.
