Beneath Marva Garcia's calm exterior is a heart tortured by guilt over her secret crime. Certain that the police are closing in on her, and desperate to spare her younger sister June the shame of seeing her thrown in prison, Marva sees suicide as her only means of escape. However, her carefully-laid plans are derailed when she meets with a terrible accident, which leaves her in a coma. When she emerges, she does not remember the accident or anything that happened before that. June, while dealing with her own heartbreak, is thrust into a caregiver role, and Jason, the man who once helped Marva fight her battles, has to look on helplessly as she struggles to win the one battle she might be better off losing.
The lush, tropical islands of Trinidad and Tobago form the backdrop to this gripping, psychological tale of secrets, sisterhood, and second chances. In the Wilderness is the second book in the Egypt series.
