The lives of the Maxwells and the Popes are interwoven like the threads of a beautiful, yet ultimately delicate, tapestry: the women were college roommates, their husbands are partners in the same law firm, their kids have grown up next door to each other, and the two families share both vacations and holidays.

But when their idyllic lives are unexpectedly shattered by a moment that can never be erased or forgotten, their faith in each other--and in themselves--is put to the supreme test. Their story is one that will strike a chord in every reader, for it embraces the universal passions that life has to offer.
