The Other Emergency Contact

He trusted his wife with twenty years of marriage. He trusted her sister with his life.

Angela and Amad have been married for twenty years—but theirs is a marriage held together more by obligation than affection.

When Amad suddenly collapses at work and is rushed to the hospital in critical condition, Angela expects to be the first person called.

She isn't.

The hospital calls her younger sister, Sandra.

And when Angela discovers Sandra isn't merely listed as Amad's emergency contact, questions quickly turn into accusations. Why would a husband of twenty years trust his sister-in-law with the decisions that matter most? What did Sandra know that Angela didn't? And what had Amad been quietly preparing for long before he ever entered that hospital?

As his condition worsens, two sisters are forced to confront twenty years of resentment, loyalty, grief, and a marriage that may not have been what either woman believed.

And Amad has one final thing to say.
