After only 8 years of marriage, Gloria Burgess's beloved husband Bill, a painter, succumbs to leukaemia, leaving Gloria with a son to raise alone in an adopted England. The madness of grief is a constant, overwhelming temptation she must withstand, for her child's sake if not her own.
To accomplish this Gloria looks back over her childhood in America and the lessons she can learn from the past. Between her father's clinging, drowning despair and her mother's emotional abandonment, there is a balance she struggles to find. And meanwhile life goes inexorably on, in spite of Gloria's anguish. There must be ways to reinvent herself, to find happiness again, and to bring peace to the tumult of her world.
