Anna Christoff Alstrom is the daughter of a prominent Atlanta surgeon, the step-daughter of a respected Atlanta art mentor, and a student at Emory University when she meets and is captivated by the most sought after pianist in the artistic world: Andriano Parenti. Anna quits school and moves in with the brilliant and eccentric virtuoso.
The two have a honeymoon existence for two years before a life-altering argument. Anna is pregnant, and Andriano does not want the child. He leaves in anger, and Anna moves back to her parent’s home where her daughter, Midge is born. They live there until Anna decides she and Midge will move from Atlanta to the northern coast of Florida where she hopes Andriano cannot find them.
In their new location, Anna becomes involved in the lives of new friends, meets a love interest, and makes changes in her own life that she could never have imagined.
