Who can guess what a woman will do when the unthinkable becomes her reality? Until now, Kathryn Lyon's life has been peaceful if unextraordinary: a satisfying job teaching high school in the New England mill town of her childhood; a picture-perfect home by the ocean; a precocious, independent-minded fifteen-year-old daughter; and a happy marriage whose occasional dull passages she attributes to the unavoidable deadening effect of time. As a pilot's wife, Kathryn has learned to expect both intense exhiliration and long periods alone--but nothing has prepared her for the late-night knock that lets her know her husband has died in a crash.
