Paige has only a few vivid memories of her mother, who left when she was five. Now, having run away from her father for dreams of art school and marriage to an ambitious young doctor, Paige finds herself with a child of her own. But her mother’s absence, and shameful memories of her past, make her doubt her ability as a mother and her own self-worth.
