Description: "Determined to keep his ailing mother out of a nursing home, Harley Cookson brings her into the house he shares with his new wife, where he then struggles to care for her while adjusting to newlywed life. A chance encounter with his high school sweetheart, Lynette, threatens to upset his tenuous domestic balance. Nearly certain that Lynette's husband is abusing her, and filled with doubts about a past that he can neither recapture nor fully escape, Harley becomes determined to protect her, too.

But when Lynette's husband is killed in what appears to be a freak accident, small-town suspicion is raised, and Harley must confront the possibility that he is powerless to save her and that his attempt to do so has put them both - and his marriage - in jeapardy."--BOOK JACKET.
