All the while back home, Becca, who has just started practicing veterinary medicine with her father, is devastated. She learns Wat, the boy, now a man, she has loved all her life and naively thought loved her, loves her only like a sister and is not coming home after earning his PhD.

The New York City beauty wins out, but with her checkered past beginning to raise its ugly head, there is a twist to the story that launches out for the next twenty years with more tragedy, romance, and victory.
