The story was hard to read sometimes because I became exasperated with Gillian letting a man treat her so badly. I kept waiting for her to turn on him and give him what he deserved. But, she hung in there in spite of his treatment towards her and she was happy. The ending was sad but moving.

In the clear air and sunswept beauty of San Francisco, lovely Gillian Forrester felt the joy of a new beginning.
