Saoirse feels herself flailing in swirling waters that threaten to suck her into the depths. No one can save her--not her lovely man; not the gorgeous boy who tries hard to love her; not her fabulous best friend; and certainly not her cheap-wisdom counselor. Can Saoirse, against all odds, rescue the self she used to know?"--
