Synopsis
The Millers are the envy of all who know them, a successful couple on the verge of the best years of their lives. Suzanne's first book is enjoying national attention while Barry can write his ticket to teach at any law school in the country. But a spate of recent deaths and the absence of her children, away at college, force Suzanne to confront the fact that her marriage is cold and empty. When Suzanne meets Robert Parrish, a silver-haired banker from East Texas with a talent for real friendship with a woman and an appetite for sensual pleasure - suppressed for years in his own straight-laced marriage - she must decide between the secure life she chose after the shameful ending of her first love affair or the disdain of her children, the loss of friends and the financial uncertainty awaiting a woman who decides to uproot her life in pursuit of the true intimacy she has long denied herself.
