This is a story that spans three generations. It begins with Sherry, who has a child out of wedlock. She runs away to have the child alone, but the father of the baby finds her and eventually marries her. Sherry’s baby, Leora, grows up in a happy family atmosphere and enjoys attending school. She gets involved in a lovers’ triangle in high school, and it carries on for over twenty years, throughout high school and her marriage to Jim, the love of his life, with whom she has two beautiful daughters. As hard as she tries to wrest herself from Brad, her lover, it is impossible. This is also a story of cancer, multiple sclerosis, death, grief, and the strength to carry on, survive, and actually make a new life without the deceased loved ones.
