Book Description
Veralle Beck, a thirty-two year old divorced mother of an eleven-year-old son, becomes ensnared in ambition, money, sex, and drugs during the social upheaval of the late 1970s. From the steamy suburbs of east-central Alabama to urbane New York City, Veralle searches for love and validation after meeting Nicholas Franklin, an ex-pilot in the Vietnam War, who seduces her into a confusing and destructive affair. Addicted to drugs and to Nicholas, her marriage collapses, her son becomes estranged, and her high-powered job disintegrates. Veralle tries to break away from Nicholas’ obsession with her and falls into the arms of Zachery Cohen, a New York investment banker. Incapable of choosing between the two men, she overdoses and regains consciousness in a rehab center where she must face her weaknesses and try to reclaim her life and her child.
