It is spring 1968 when Donald Wolfe gradutes from law school and arrives in New York. Filled with ambition and idealism, he is dazzled not only by the big city but by the vivacious, restless Lillian, whom he marries in the heat of passion. Surely theirs is no marriage made in heaven, but they have a child, Tina, and she is the love of Donald's heart. For her he would give up everything--his home, his distinguished career, and his freedom. When his flawed marriage begins to fail, a choice must be made. Will he dare to take a step that would force him into flight and a life of hiding?

From her earliest year, Tina is exceptional, loving, a brilliant student. When she embarks on the road to adulthood and falls in love for the first time, a day of reckoning is drawing near...one that will expose long-hidden truths and test the limits of a mother's guilt, a father's love, and a daughter's capacity for forgiveness....
