A Seat Saved for Me

"After Marcus Bennett and Vivian Carter divorced, they signed a custody agreement requiring theirdaughters to switch homes every August. Yet all their love, attention, and family resources went to theirspoiled younger daughter, Zoe. They fought for Zoe's holidays, bought her a Porsche, and manufacturedprestigious opportunities for her, while repeatedly forgetting Amara's basic living expenses, school events,and every important moment in her life. After years of being treated like a responsibility neither parent wanted, Amara finally stops begging to be chosen. Relying entirely on her own talent and determination, she earns full independent funding for hermedical-robotics research and moves to Boston, three thousand miles away from the family thatdiscarded her. There, she builds a career, a community, and a home of her own. Years later, Zoe's recklessness brings both family companies to the edge of collapse, while Amara becomes the only expert whose patented technology can save them."
