A child. That was all Laura wanted. A child, and for the family to stay together. Travel. To get away from the small Ohio town to the wide open spaces of Texas. That was Connie's urgent dream. While for Eddy, New York beckoned. Wall Street, wealth and influence.

And tragedy, heartache and disgrace are in store before the family becomes one again and each discovers life's true treasures.
