The second novel by a senior editor at Cosmopolitan concerns the sad and surprising aftereffects of a young man's death. Ronnie Chase is a high-school football star headed for a bright future when a limo accident on prom night cuts his life short and disfigures his girlfriend Melissa. Ronnie's family--his bitter, compulsively eating mother Charlene; his lonely, gay older brother Philip; and his father Richard, who has since remarried--have never even come close to recovering from his death. And none of them know how to respond when Melissa shows up unexpectedly five years later at Charlene's house and claims to be pregnant with Ronnie's child. Has Ronnie somehow, miraculously, fathered a child from beyond the grave, or is there a more mundane, and considerably more unpleasant, explanation?
