America in the Sixties was an era of radical upheaval. More tellingly, it
was a time when you weren't supposed to trust anyone over the age of thirty;
when, if you were young, you rebelled against your parents and their

protests and anti-war marches; of sexual liberation and hallucinogenic drugs.
More tellingly, it was a time when you weren't supposed to trust anyone over
the age of thirty; when, if you were young, you rebelled against your parents
and their conservative values. But not Hannah Buchan. Hannah is a great
disappointment to her famous radical father and painter mother. Instead of
mounting the barricades and embracing this age of profound social change, she
wants nothing more than to marry her doctor boyfriend and raise a family in a
small town. Hannah gets her wish. But once installed as the doctor's wife in a
nowhere corner of Maine, boredom sets in...until an unforeseen moment of
personal rebellion changes everything. Especially as Hannah is forced into
breaking the law. For decades, this one transgression in an otherwise faultless
life remains buried. But then, in the charged atmosphere of America after 9/11,
her secret comes out and her life goes into freefall.
