Mary Margaret Kelly, at nine, came of age in the shadow of grief. Her father, a daredevil Air Force pilot, died. Maggie saw her mother struggle to put their lives back together. Maggie sought out all the things her mother had lost, a predictable partner, a stable home, and a regular paycheck. She chose to marry a dependable, kind man who was a reliable husband and successful accountant. Together they had a son and found happiness in a conventional suburban life. Until tragedy struck again. Now on her own, feeling a sense of adventure for the first time, Maggie decides to face her fears, setting off on a whirlwind trip from San Francisco to Rome, Paris, and Monaco. But when her travels reconnect her with the same irresistible, thrill-seeking man she's spent thirty years trying to forget, she is terrified that rushing into love may end in disaster. But while Maggie tries to outrun her fears and painful memories, fate will surprise her in astounding ways.
