A book that exposes the nerves that lie hidden in marriages and families, and the hopes and regrets that lie buried in the hearts of women. With the tales of two women (one modern day and one from the 1920's) one a country doctor's wife with a haunting past, the other a twice-divorced San Fran schoolteacher casting about at midlife for answers for her future. Linked by bitter disappointments, compromise, and powerful grace, the lives of George and Cath begin to seem remarkably similar.
