SYNOPSIS (borrowed from Amazon):
Propelled by an insurmountable sense of desperation, Stevie Burke is recklessly
abandoning home, husband, and outwardly contented life under cover of night; at
last resigned to defeat in her long battle against the tortured memories of her
past.
Days later, lost and floundering in a dreary motel room without plan or destination, it is a long ago song playing on the radio that gently tugs Stevie back through the dust of remembrance. 1957 - The last summer spent at the ancient house overlooking the North Atlantic. A season which had unfolded with abundant promise, but then spiraled horribly out of control - torn apart by a shattering tragedy that remains splintered in fragments upon her soul. And it is only now, when Stevie at last lifts her eyes to stare deep into the heart of her long sequestered memories, that the long held secrets of past and future are at last unveiled.
