Because her mother, Vivian, a recent widow, is having difficulty coping and living alone, Susannah prepares to make some hard decisions. Not only that, she's balancing the demands of an aging mother and a temperamental twenty-year-old daughter. But she feels there's something missing, although she doesn't know exactly what. Long married, a mother and a teacher, she should be happy. Now, at fifty, she finds herself regretting the paths not taken. She never saw her brother again, either Doug died in a car accident while she was away. She said goodbye to her boyfriend, Jake - and never saw him again. When Susannah Nelson turned eighteen, her parents sent her to school abroad.
