As children, Lexie and Annie were incredibly close. Bonded by the death of their beloved father, they weathered the storms of life together. When Lexie leaves home to follow her dream, Annie is forced to turn to her leather-bound journal as the only place she can confide her deepest secrets and fears. As adults, sisters Lexie and Annie could not be more different. Lexie is a successful doctor and happily engaged. Annie is an addict-- a thief, a liar and unable to remain clean. When Annie's newborn baby is in danger of being placed in foster care, Annie picks up the phone to beg her sister for help. Will Lexie agree to take in her young niece? And how will Annie survive, losing the only thing in her life worth living for?

âBefore I Let You Go is a heartbreaking book about an impossible decision. Kelly Rimmer writes with wisdom and compassion about the relationships between sisters, mother and daughterâ¦. She captures the anguish of addiction, the agonizing conflict between an addictâs best and worst selves. Above all, this is a novel about the deepest love possible.â âLuanne Rice, New York Times bestselling author
The 2:00 a.m. call is the first time Lexie Vidler has heard her sisterâs voice in years. Annie is a drug addict, a thief, a liarâand in trouble, again. Lexie has always bailed Annie out, given her money, a place to sleep, sent her to every kind of rehab. But this time, sheâs not just strung outâsheâs pregnant and in premature labor. If she goes to the hospital, sheâll lose custody of her babyâmaybe even go to prison. But the alternative is unthinkable.
As the weeks unfold, Lexie finds herself caring for her fragile newborn niece while her carefully ordered life is collapsing around her. Sheâs in danger of losing her job, and her fiancé only has so much patience for Annieâs drama. In court-ordered rehab, Annie attempts to halt her downward spiral by confronting long-buried secrets from the sistersâ childhoods, ghosts that Lexie doesnât want to face. But will the journey heal Annie, or lead her down a darker path?
