James Murrow’s poignant novel follows a family through the latter half of the twentieth century.
Jake and Leah Walton seem like the perfect couple. Jake has graduated from medical school and is planning to work in his father’s family practice. Leah loves being a mother to their son, Ben, and wife and assistant to Jake. Then a tragedy occurs.
Jake takes a position in the pharmaceutical industry. He finds mentors, and makes friends and enemies, as he navigates a world built on greed and corporate espionage.
Meanwhile, Leah begins a friendship that blossoms into something more, and Ben leaves for Vietnam. The three of them are swept up in lives of intrigue, danger, and regret. They face decisions that will drastically change their lives—and one another’s—no matter what they choose.
