People love a rags-to-riches story but hate an immigrant who lied to get ahead.
Ami Shah is on the brink of life-changing success. Her skin-care empire, Amala, is set for a dream acquisition by a Fortune 500 company, and she has just been nominated for a ChangeMaker Award, the most revered entrepreneurial honor. There's just one problem: she's a complete and utter fraud.
Twenty years ago, abandoned orphan Monica Joseph made a decision that forever changed the course of her life-she stole her wealthy classmate's identity and moved abroad to build her life on someone else's name. For twenty years, she's managed to hide in plain sight...until an ambitious fledgling journalist sets out to write the inaugural full-length profile on her. With her carefully constructed persona and life's work now in jeopardy, Monica is left with no other choice: to cover up her tracks once and for all, she must return to the scene of the crime-and the one place she vowed never to revisit.
