The award-winning author of twelve novels, Brenda Jackson delivers a dramatic story about the trials that test the bonds of four friends. It all started in college in 1965, where two couples became lovers and the best of friends. They saw each other through final exams, the Vietnam War, the thrill of falling in love, the pain of broken hearts, the joy of new life, the sorrow of death - and through it all, their ties to each other remained true. Told with Jackson's trademark passion and sensuality, this is a moving story of friends and lovers who eventually become family.
