More than 30 years of Ruth Cole's life are explored in this "New York Times" bestseller told in three parts. This gripping story begins in 1958 and continues into the 1990s when Ruth is an unmarried woman whose personal life is not nearly as successful as her literary career. She distrusts her judgment in men. Then in the autumn of 1995, Ruth Cole, a 41-year-old widow and mother, falls in love for the first time.
