Sixteen years ago, Snow Ashley Gable fled Chicago, running away from the kind of loss that comes with love, from a friendship that turned into betrayal. Now thirty-one, Snow is bringing her successful late-night radio talk show, The Cinderella Hour, home to Chicago. For Snow, there are risks in returning -- risks and fears. The father she never knew. The mother who acted out one dangerous fantasy after another. The high-school heiress who uncovered Snow's greatest secrets. And Luke Kilcannon, the troubled boy she loved.
