Brianna Deville’s distress is the core of this novel and is no small matter.

Brianna’s mother, Belle Deville, is a Civil Rights lawyer and news commentator. Belle’s relationship ends before Brianna is born. She believes within herself that one day she will tell her daughter about her father, but she dies unexpectedly before she lifts that burden from Brianna. Belle’s broken relationship leaves a scar on her heart and she passes bitterness onto her daughter telling her to be independent and put little faith in men. Feeling abandoned weighs on Brianna’s mind for years.

As a result, Brianna buries this trauma into the back of her mind and hides behind a mask of feminism. Raped by a casual acquaintance reinforces her mother’s words of warning. She pushes rape into the back of her mind and becomes celibate.

At the urging of Mirror-Lady, an apparition and her guardian angel, Brianna finally becomes involved with Beau. She nearly opens her heart until he betrays her. Again, she turns inward, yet continues to push forward as an activist. By now, age becomes an issue: she is in her early forties, unmarried and without children. Brianna knows she must make some changes in her attitude and work through her debilitating flash backs. She struggles, refuses to be a prisoner of her feelings of desertion.
