Kerry McGrath is thrown into a world into which she either steps up and put her ambitions on hold or let it slide and not worry about it.

When Kerry's daughter is involved in a car accident and requires the assistance of Dr. Smith, a well-known and respected plastic surgeon, Kerry sees a woman who looks so familar to her but she cant make out who she is and the name is not of someone she knows. When she again visits the Doctors office, she is met again by the same face but different woman. What is the doctor doing recreating the same face on women? Kerry asks herself. From that moment, her quiet life is changed.

She now feels that the man in prison for the murder of Suzanne Readon, is innocent or there is something to his statement about Dr. Smith lying at his trial.

Along Kerry's journey to find the truth, the players in the murder mystery start to come undone in many ways.

You will be hooked in the book and want to know what is happening and what Kerry is going to do.
