Description: "At sixty-three, Judge Gregory Brennan is on the brink of retirement. With his youngest daughter headed for college, he envisions traveling abroad, basking in a repose that his demanding career has not allowed, with his wife, Audrey, at his side. But Audrey has other ambitions. At forty-nine, she sees the mythic empty nest as an opportunity to explore her own potential - as a medical student.

When Audrey reveals her plans, Gregory is overwhelmed, and he emotionally retreats - causing a rift that neither one of them ever anticipated."--BOOK JACKET.
