Margaret Carlyle is searching for an epic love as she heads to college
in 1979 after the loss of her beloved mother to cancer. When a
charismatic boy named Anders rapes her on their first date, she wants
nothing more than to forget it ever happened. But as the years pass,
each life decision she makes seems driven by what happened that night.
When Anders becomes famous as an actor, Margaret can no longer ignore her past—and she must make choices that will affect everyone around her, most notably her husband, Douglas, and Fitz, the man who has loved her patiently since college.
This deeply moving novel is a window into class and privilege, the mysteries of marriage, and the destructive power of secrets—and an examination of what happens when we try to bury the past, as well as the consequences of confronting it.
