Dawn Palmer's genteel Southern upbringing had not prepared her for life in Chicago with her brash husband, Myles. She had been attracted to him by his rugged good looks and bad-boy charm, but the charm soon faded and she began to realize she had made a mistake. Unwilling to face the truth, Dawn told herself that everything would be fine. After all, he could be so sweet sometimes and he really loved her – didn't he?

She managed to live this lie until she discovered true love while on a temporary secretarial assignment. It was love at first sight for Dawn and Bobby, but the fact that she was married was only the first of many obstacles to their happiness.

Dawn sets out on a journey from self-delusion and despair towards self-respect and joy with the love of her life. But the road is far more dangerous and frightening than she ever could have imagined.
