About This Book
What if your family secrets were like a door you could open or close whenever you wanted? Imagine two sisters scheming to send away their dad’s annoying girlfriend by turning themselves into a living door. But what happens when a trip to visit a stressed-out mom splits her into two—one funny, one frantic—and strangers on a plane have to let go of their own baggage before they can truly take off?
