Young and pregnant, Cerise and Anna make very different decisions about how to direct their lives. While teenaged Cerise struggles to suppport herself and her young daughter, Anna finishes college, marries, and later gives birth to two daughters of her own. After the birth of her second child, a tragic accident tears Cerise's life apart, and she loses her already tenuous position in society. As the story progresses - and Cerise's and Anna's lives interweave and inexorably approach each other - both women are dramatically, forever changed.
