Laura and Dan Courser are less than perfect, but deeply passionate couple with young children and lots of plans. Until Dan, displaying the boyish bravado that made Laura fall in love with him, takes the tiller of a boat he can't handle and causes the accident that shatters their lives. Suddenly there are no more ordinary days or nights. And, in a story filled with astonishing revelations, we witness two people wrestling with a marriage in which all the rules are changed, confronting the guilt and anger, devotion and desire that don't merely survive. . . but can help heal the wounded heart.

This is a tragic novel dealing with the aftermath of an accident that leaves a woman paralyzed. How much does it take to destroy a good marriage? The husband inadvertently turns his wife into a quadraplegic by making messing around with a boat that he really can't operate. His guilt and her bitterness are the baggage that is ever present in their marriage. This book is depressing and tragic but very well-written.
