Used book – The Colors of Life, Susan Mallery, Isabel Wolff-Perry

Claire, Nicole, and Jesse Keyes haven't spoken in years. So Claire is both upset and surprised to learn, via a phone call from Jesse, that their sister Nicole, who is ill, needs her. Needs her, whom she blames so much for having put her career before her family? Her, who, Nicole claims, unfairly left her with the heavy burden of raising their little sister Jesse alone? Perhaps this is finally the opportunity Claire has been hoping for so long to reconcile with Nicole... So she packs her bags and lands in Seattle. There, she is greeted, to say the least coldly, by a certain Wyatt, Nicole's best friend: without mincing words, he tells her that he knows what kind of selfish person she is, and informs her that he won't let her do any more harm. Only Wyatt's young daughter, an adorable deaf and very observant child, seems to welcome Claire's arrival...
