The Extraordinary Side of Absence

A friendship. Two heiresses. A collection of twenty-two stories to show what happens when two girls decide to challenge the legacies of violence and power surrounding their families.

Jackie Foster understood at a very early age how her father’s drug addiction shaped her life: escaping home, living in a motorhome, the concealed violence and, ultimately, the loss of the person she loved the most.

Elena Whitehill knew she would never have one single concern in her life perfectly outlined to keep her family’s pharmaceutical empire. Tradition and authority, though, didn’t open space for personal aspirations such as pursuing a career in fashion and design.

When their universes collide, still in childhood, the girls find in each other the support they didn’t get from their families; until an assault at a graduation party puts more than one life at stake. Will their friendship be enough to break the inheritance of crime and ambition?

In this collection of stories that happen over sixteen years, Jackie Foster and Elena Whitehill will show that it doesn’t matter how many obstacles you have to face in life. Everything gets an extraordinary touch when there is a true friend by your side.
