When she set out to find out why her sister Amanda was so ill, she had no idea where her amateur investigation would take her. Amanda's illness had never been discussed. Amanda deserved her privacy. As Kenzie's questions take her deeper and deeper into the murky world of transplant tourism, Kenzie starts to wonder just what her parents have been covering up, and who else's life might hang in the balance.
