I'm only a week short of my eighteenth birthday when I discover my drug-addict mother dead, a needle in her arm.
It's only then I learn of the family I'd forgotten-a stepfather and his two adult sons. One is star of the music world, a blind violinist who wows his audience on stage with string versions of classic rock songs.
The other brother is his protection-a six-four beast who no one dares cross.
I don't need them.
They don't want me.
With my head still spinning, I find myself plunged into a world of wealth and fame.
But it's a brief dalliance.
A private plane is due to take us to a concert hall in Montreal. Except it doesn't make it.
We find ourselves crashed in the middle of the Canadian wilderness with little hope of rescue.
Survival becomes all.
I'm stranded with three men. Though they barely know me, we're forced to pull together.
We might be family, but out here, where no one else can judge us, they become so much more.
