Are you a woman of the new millennium assertive, independent, resilient and dynamic? But were women in the tumultuous 1960s any less diverse? Life has certainly changed since then, but has the integrity, the inner core of femininity shifted to any marked degree? Seventeen-year-old Desiree Bjornson had dreamed of being a concert pianist, but her sheltered life was altered the same day she met her future husband and her only sibling suddenly died. Other than having to cope with her unforgiving mother, married life brought Desiree an opulent lifestyle, despite her husband's desire for comfortable but less demanding conditions. Then, suddenly she was approaching a fork in her life's winding highway. What road would you take if one leads to continued wealth and prestige with an unsteady husband, and the other leads to a divorced existence with the increasing love from a beautiful daughter and the challenge of rearing a "special" child?
