Emily Saunders is the hot topic of conversation again.

Just when she was beginning to feel her husband's recent death was no longer the big news item at church, she's violently attacked back in her hometown after her class reunion.

The attack leaves her bruised and battered, struggling to remember the details of what happened. What exactly happened that night?

Emily returns to Pittsburgh-to her children and to Peter, her new boyfriend from church-but finds herself worrying about everything that's happened, everything that still might happen, and everything that will have to change because of a second pivotal day in her young life-a day on which everything changes.
