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. Shall he consider a step that would force him into flight and a life of hiding?From her earliest years， Tina is exceptional， a brilliant student and a joyous， loving spirit. At the university she falls in love with Gilbert， who graduates from law school just as she is about to enter medical school. Together they go to New York， where she learns the truth about her family’s past， a truth that must change her regard for the father who has protected and cherished her. When a terrible lie has been told out of love， can it be forgiven?With courage and compassion， Belva Plain paints a moving portrait of the choices that shape the course of our lives， the secrets that haunt us， and the love that helps us heal and move on. It is a work of riveting storytelling and rare emotional power by one of the most gifted novelists of our time.
