Publisher's Synopsis
It seems that nothing could go wrong for Mel and Adrienne Jordan and their infant daughter - Mel has given up the vices of his misspent youth, and he lives happily married in a plush pad in New York City. That is until a fire which he believes to be his fault sweeps through their home, causing a terrible tragedy. Mel returns to the streets of his youth while Adrienne works long hours at a tedious job, desperate to get ahead. As they drift further into their grief - and away from each other - they start to wonder if they can ever reclaim what they once had - a love so true.
