Synopsis
A porter in a London hospital, Mark does the job because he's always wanted to be a caretaker. The irony is, the only person he can feel for is his older sister, Geena. When illness provokes the discovery that Geena was adopted before his parents left South Africa, Mark must face his feelings for her.

From the Publisher
Mark’s relationship with his sister Geena is so close that her friends can’t help but speculate. When Natasha, a beautiful loner, tries to gate–crash their relationship, Mark is convinced her motive is to separate them. But Geena’s behavior is doing that all by itself. Geena is hallucinating images from her past — a past she doesn’t even recognize. Geena’s neurologist is also baffled, but as Natasha says, “the brain has the power to solve its own mystery.”And when a family secret is revealed, Geena embarks on a journey to the other side of the world and the deadliest of circumstances.
