Publisher's Summary

Lori and Tom marry too young after they discover she is pregnant. Their families are riddled with alcoholism and dysfunction, but they plan on having a normal, healthy family. Sadly, they don't know how to. Tom's drinking escalates, and so does Lori's. She is too preoccupied with his drinking and lack of intimacy to think about her own problem with alcohol. 

After running into an old neighborhood friend in the grocery store whose brother is in prison for murder, Lori starts writing to him. It is an escape from her entrapment in what she perceives to be a loveless marriage. Since Jared will be in prison for life, Lori has no concerns about there ever being any real relationship with him. 

When Tom finds hope in sobriety, their lives are turned around, where they are living a life of happiness and health. What could go wrong? What happens when Jared is let out of prison on a technicality and wants to continue his love affair with Lori?
