Clara, heroine of Clara's Heart and former nanny of Will Kaplan, comes once more to his rescue. Marie Claire, Will's friend, may have been caught in the catastrophic jumbo-jet crash off Long Island. Yet, mysteriously, the airline throws her very boarding of the doomed plane into doubt. So where is she? As the conundrum looms, Will's past loves and obsessions unfold with gripping intensity - the ghost of his brother Daniel, killed in a fatal skiing accident, and the aching memories of his former lover Peter. Will and Clara are tied into a bond as strong as any blood family's, and Will needs his old nanny's wit and heart now more than ever.
