Janet Westmore, J to her friends, lived the perfect life in the Eastern Sierra ski resort town of Mammoth Lakes, Calif. She had a solid reputation as a management consultant; an ideal relationship with the man of her heart, Ross; and, a beloved twin, Mary, happily married to Bob, whom she frequently visited at their home in the San Francisco Bay area or in Mammoth. It was on one of those trips that J's world shattered into pieces. Bob and Mary's plane crashed as they were flying J back to Mammoth. J woke up in a hospital room, broken, frightened, and unsure of what had happened, but comforted when she saw Mary sleeping in a chair next to her bed.
