Synopsis: Kate Loomis, a journalist whose protected world comes apart when she finds herself falling in love with the powerful doctor who is treating her mother for cancer. The doctor is facing his own crisis. After a decade of medical practice, he is losing the detachment crucial to his effectiveness with patients and to his own emotional balance. Played out against the background of a big city hospital, this is a novel about marriage and the intensity of secret infatuation. It is about being seriously ill from the point of view of both doctors and patients. Most of all it is about growing up, coming to terms with reality, and finding the courage to change.
