All her life Grace Alcott has followed the proper path, a legacy of her impeccable New England upbringing. She put aside her own needs and became the perfect wife of Bainbridge Alcott, the scion of a prominent North Shore family. In their beautiful Cape Cod home, Grace has led a life of quiet domesticity, and for forty years has been a paragon of wifely virtue in the blue- blooded circles in which the Alcotts effortlessly travel. Yet beneath her gracious facade run deep, unrequited sorrows: the tragic death of her firstborn daughter; the emotional distance of her two sons; and the loss of her own identity in deference to her strong-willed husband. And now, the most shattering blow of all...one that will force her to make choices that, for the first time, will take her beyond being Mrs. Alcott to being a woman who can both hold her family together and assert her own independence.
