Si fa chiamare Hope Miller, ma non ha idea di chi sia in realtà. È successo tutto quindici anni fa. Un incidente d'auto. Il trauma cranico che le ha fatto perdere la memoria. Anni di vita cancellati. Trovata senza documenti, e soprattutto senza ricordi, Hope ha dovuto iniziare da capo: nuovo nome, nuova città, nuova vita. Senza mai smettere di chiedersi che cosa si stesse lasciando alle spalle... o da cosa stesse scappando. Non ce l'avrebbe fatta, però, a ricominciare senza Lindsay.

Nicky è rimasta a Cleveland, sola. Chloe lavora a New York in un importante giornale di moda. Ce l'ha fatta.
