About the Book

In the summer of 1960, Gretchen Schiffer meets her future husband Peter Neumann at a family dinner that Hannah her mother had invited him to. Hannah wants Gretchen to marry Peter. However, there are just two problems. One: Gretchen is still angry that her mother and stepfather had just made her break up with her boyfriend Johnny. Two: At sixteen she is too young to be married to a man she doesn't love. But to Gretchen's mother and stepfather, Peter Neumann who belongs to the same fundamentalist religion as they do is the perfect match. Four months later, Gretchen leaves her childhood behind when she marries Peter Neumann, rationalizing that marriage is better than living under the same roof with her controlling and religiously fanatical parents. But marriage is no bed of roses. Tormented by flashbacks and childhood memories she now loses herself in a world between the past and the present. Haunted by her past she retreats into deep isolation and bizarre behavior. At eighteen she gives birth to her first son Timothy. Although she loves her son she suffers from severe depression. Her husband Peter tells her that many young mothers are depressed and in time she'll get over it. At last, after several months she slowly begins to feel better. One sunny summer day she runs into Eduardo Giovanni, the man she remembers meeting briefly at a streetcar stop when she was just ten years old and he, at the time, about eighteen. She begins seeing Eduardo. When she realizes she is in love with him, she finds herself at a turning point. Which way will she go? Will she follow her heart or stay faithful to her husband whom she doesn't love? Her choice brings her to a close brush with death. The only thing that can save her now is her determination. But will that be enough to avoid her downfall and the destruction of her family? Is survival possible? And what about her husband Peter? What secrets has he kept from her to doom their relationship? What happens next, as the lives of everyone involved hang in the balance, will determine the outcome. Will Gretchen's desire for setting things straight at any expense give her the strength to save herself and her family, or will there be no way out of the crosshairs of destruction?
