Description

The women in Helena Mayrick's family have always led secretive and tragic lives and when Helena's comfortable marriage is devastated by her husband's violent death, it seems that she, too, is locked into the cycle.

But gradually, as the story of enigmatic Ruth and the elusive, passionate Donaldson unfolds, Helena finds that the past, like the present, was shaped by cruel dilemmas and the demands of love...
