What does it take to be a good woman – and what does it take from you?
Susanna Greenfield has given her all to being a good daughter, sister, wife and mother. Somehow, she’s maintained her profession as a college art teacher, as well as rearing two headstrong teenagers and nurturing a twenty-year marriage to Gerry, a confident, ambitious architect. She’s also the eternal peacemaker between her pretty younger sister, a single mother and former junkie turned born-again Christian, and their strong-willed mother. Just as Susanna is about to revive her long delayed creative artistic career, the unthinkable happens, ripping apart the fabric of her world, and revealing secrets which threaten to destroy both a marriage and a life.
