Drucilla Hallmark does not want to leave the hospital-and Tony Tortomasi-to return to Shady Grove, where rumor has it that she intends to take revenge on all who have hurt her in the past. Despite her wishes to stay, Dru is forced to bid Tony goodbye-but not before he faithfully promises their souls will always be together. Now, despite her professional success, she is again at the mercy of her husband, Richard, who is sadly still a womanizer and a fake-certainly not the man of her dreams.
Desperate to see Tony, she manages to snatch fleeting moments with him that are never quite enough to satiate her desires. With the help of her friend, Rex, Dru fights her way through her painful memories with the hope that one day she will be reunited forever with Tony and his young son-the only ones she feels can truly make her happy.
In this continuing saga, a woman forced to face her harsh reality must battle her internal demons as she bravely struggles to make her dreams come true.
