Jackie Calhoun weaves a compelling tale of a horrible accident, an unfaithful lover, and a blue-eyed stranger...
On vacation with her lover Jo, Maggie is seriously injured in a bicycle crash. Two joggers, Erica and her former lover Dave, are the first on the scene. While Dave goes for help, Erica comforts the pain-wracked and panic-stricken Maggie - who clings to Erica as she clings to life itself.
The near-fatal accident sets off a series of changes in the lives of all concerned - chaotic changes that test the bonds of friendship... and love. Faced with months of recovery and rehabilitation, Maggie must somehow find the inner strength to heal herself. Guilt-ridden Jo must finally choose between her love for Maggie and her lingering passion for her ex-lover. Maggie's sister and children, from whom she's been estranged for years, must learn to accept Maggie's lesbianism. And, drawn to Maggie in a way she is only beginning to understand, Erica must come to terms with who she really is... and what she really wants.
Then a random act of violence sets in motion another sea of changes. But, unlike Maggie's accident, this one does not bring out the best of everyone.
