Why do terminally ill people keep dying the day Abe Archer and Kate Lasca-Gray visit them? Are they really what the media call them, the macabre minister and his merry mistress? Kate has always believed what her father told her when she was a girl: she is not of this world but instead made of ocean and sky. Today, she is a thirty-five-year-old, up-and-coming advertising executive who has everything going for her: a promising career, a handsome and successful boyfriend, and five years' distance from her father's death. Then, on the project meant to propel her to the top, she is asked to team up with Greta Perkins, a woman whose carefree ways threaten the very foundation of Kate's life, both personal and professional. Daughters of Icarus opens in the year 2049 with Kate on her deathbed. Simon Gray, her husband, receives a box of Kate's mementos. Woven into the present day main story-line are Simon's recurring visits to the box during his wife's final hours in an effort to understand Kate's secret, suspicious behavior over the past forty years. And in a tragic turn, Kate finds herself chin deep in Greta's submerged past, and she discovers that she must dive into the ocean of her own painful truths before she can fly again toward the sun.

Taking risks and exploring the unknown are as vital to human beings as our need for air, for growth, for affirmation that we exist for something. These 19 stories reach deep into humanity’s compulsion for the rush of new experiences. But gently, because it’s not only records we might shatter. When does adventure turn to recklessness? What happens when we toe the edge above the void and face the big silence, where we might see God -- and die without warning? The Icarus Syndrome seeks to capture our push for more and hold it to the light, lofty and free, for as long as we dare tempt the downward slip. Both are possible; only one is assured.

When she is taken to her mother's family compound in Nigeria, she encounters Titiola, a ragged little girl her own age. It seems that at last Jess has found someone who will understand her. TillyTilly knows secrets both big and small. But as she shows Jess just how easy it is to hurt those around her, Jess begins to realise that she doesn't know who TillyTilly is at all.
