When Rod Corcoran enters Lill Dunn’s life, she is both fascinated and frightened by their mutual attraction.  Is it because he’s eight years younger?  Or because he’s Janie Corcoran’s son?

Lill and Janie have been connected since childhood, in more ways than Lill could ever imagine.  Only Janie knows the secret that ties them together, a secret that affects everyone around her -- her mother and sister, her son, even Lill.  It is a secret that has ruled Janie’s life, and Rod’s, for more than three decades.
